Homeward Bound
It’s been a long time since we talked, many days have passed
A bitter road I have walked but those days won’t last
For I had lost my way in a test that I always fail
As I forgot to pray and thus this story of that tale
The pandemic had come causing my routine to change
But to all of this I was numb as it didn’t even feel strange
As each day had passed my new routine became the same
Seemed I put Jesus last and in this I felt pretty lame
But I was stubborn in my way, towards the Lord I was defiant
I wanted things my way and missed every sign He sent
But I knew something was missing because I felt it in my heart
And so I began wishing for simply a brand new start
Remember the prodigal son, the Father ran to him upon his return
Well I finally said I’m done as Jesus told parables that we would learn
So as the new year rang in
I decided to return Home
Resolute in conquering all my sin
There’s no longer any need to roam
Luke 15:11-32
The Prodigal Son
