How Can I? (Hosea 11)
Day by day
My promises wait
The more I called
The more they ran
Yet it was me
Who taught you to walk
I held you in my arms and bent down to feed
For I am God
And not a man
I'll hold my wrath and bring you home
How can I give u up?
How can I hand u over?
How can I make you like them?
How can I?
How can I?
How can I?
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
I'll take your heart
The heart of stone
And revive you
With a heart of flesh
Come back to me
I wait for you
My arms open wide
From the day on the cross
For I am God
And not a man
I'll quieten you with songs of love
How can I give u up?
How can I hand u over?
How can I make you like them?
How can I?
How can I?
How can I?
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My promises wait
The more I called
The more they ran
Yet it was me
Who taught you to walk
I held you in my arms and bent down to feed
For I am God
And not a man
I'll hold my wrath and bring you home
How can I give u up?
How can I hand u over?
How can I make you like them?
How can I?
How can I?
How can I?
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
I'll take your heart
The heart of stone
And revive you
With a heart of flesh
Come back to me
I wait for you
My arms open wide
From the day on the cross
For I am God
And not a man
I'll quieten you with songs of love
How can I give u up?
How can I hand u over?
How can I make you like them?
How can I?
How can I?
How can I?
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
My heart recoils within me
My compassion grows warm & tender
