Shane & Shane's song 'Hosea' draws directly from the Old Testament book of Hosea, calling believers to return to the Lord after times of brokenness and discipline. The lyrics speak of God tearing and injuring, yet also healing and restoring, emphasizing that His correction leads to renewed life in His presence. The repeated refrain urges pressing on to know the Lord, trusting that He will respond as surely as the dawn comes. The song is a worshipful meditation on repentance, restoration, and intimate knowledge of God, suitable for congregational singing and personal reflection.

Come let us return
He has torn us into pieces
He has injured us
Come let us return to the Lord
He will heal us
He will bandage our wounds
In just a short time He'll restore us
In just a short time He'll restore His church
So we might live
We might live in His presence
In His presence
Oh that we might know the Lord
Oh that we might know the Lord
Oh that we might know the Lord
Let us press on to know Him
Let us press hard into Him
Then as surely as the coming of the dawn
He will respond
