Contact me if the Spirit gives you the music to these words. I'm looking for a composer collaborator.

 

You bring me back

"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There will I give her back to her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope." (Hosea 2:14-15a).  

"The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them." (Hosea 14:9b).

 

O God I must confess it

I flirt with the world and have compromised my values

But Lord, my life, You bless it

You forgive and forget and hold out to me the Good News

 

You bring me back

For the dear price of Your Son

You show me grace

Although I’m deserving none

You bring me back

Such grace!

You bring me back

 

Despite my promises broken

Your grace allures me back to the Valley of Achor

By Your Words so tenderly spoken

My hope is renewed as You lead me back through that door

 

Your ways are ever upright

And I will walk within them; endure the tempest

Abundantly You give life

I’ll tend the vineyard and praise you in the harvest

 

            Oh I exalt You God

          Your awesome grace still captures me

          I exalt You

          Oh My God

For your grace
