The Father Wants His Children Home

I died for all the nations, because I came to die The father wants his children home again; in case you wonder why Because of what the first Adam did, I, the last Adam had to come Not just to save you from your sins but to make sure the Father's will is done The Father wants his children home again, in case you wonder why I came in the flesh, born to a woman and dwelt among you; just to die And now all you appreciate is the day that you think I was born Not reverencing that it was for you that I was beaten and my flesh torn I love you so much that I paid the price, that you, yourself could not pay I laid down my life before mortal men that you may live to say... The Father sent his only son to die upon a cross That I may make it home one day and my mortal soul be not lost.
