Song of Gomer Lyrics

Song of Gomer

Don't know what He sees in me
He is Spirit, He is free
And I, the wife of adultery
Gomer is my name
Simply more than I can see
How He keeps on forgiving me
How He keeps His sanity
Hosea, you're a fool

A fool to love someone like me
A fool to suffer silently
But sometimes through your eyes I see
I'd rather be a fool
The fondness of a father
The passion of a child
The tenderness of a loving friend
An understanding smile
All of this and so much more
You've lavished on a faithless w****
I've never known love like this before
Hosea, you're a fool
This God of yours would not have told
To lift a love that you couldn't hold
And though time and time again I flee
I'm always glad to see you coming after me

Simply more than I can see
How he keeps on forgiving me
The wife of adultery
And Gomer is my name
