Song Of Gomer Lyrics lyrics

Song Of Gomer by Michael Card

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.

Chorus:

A fool to love someone like me,

A fool to suffer silently;

Though 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 whore

I’ve never known love like this before

Hosea, you’re a fool.

Chorus:

A fool to love someone like me,

A fool to suffer silently;

Though sometimes through your eyes I see

I’d rather be a fool.

Bridge:

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;

Gomer is my name.
