Turn Around

A man went to the market to pick up a few things As he went to check out there was only one line There he noticed a homeless man paying From behind he could tell he was dirty His clothes were disgusting and he smelt Boy did he smell He held his nose and waited But the man ahead of him was short a few dollars Rolling his eyes he wasn't about to help this bum Just then that young man turned around It was his son who had left home many years ago Just like that the father pulled him close and hugged him He just hugged and hugged him and didn't want to let go At register 2 at Acme, God was showing his love... for you Only God always knew you, and never held you in disdain But loved you completely before He placed you in the womb Turn around to Him, He is not ashamed of you But in fact has been calling out to you, continually Just turn around.
