Returning Home

Of all His wondrous stories told the Prodigal would be right there In having such a comforting hold as to our own sins that we bare Asking for what was not his to ask to live how he thought best His depravity he could not mask not needing to go into the rest Upon the Prodigals sons return there all along the Father stood Such love he knew he didn't earn a loving Father who is so good Running to meet His son having His best robe for him to wear To see such a great King run must make all very much aware It was the Lord telling this story, His own Father has also done The Father loving us in all His Glory in so sending His only Son There waiting for you to come back looking out over the hills For despite all that you may lack it is what the Father Wills They went and had a feast not even the son could ever imagine Deserving of it not in the least as He instantly forgot of his sin Why would Jesus say it to be so this love that you can just feel In not knowing this Love to be, it's like with the pigs you kneel Luke 15:11-32
