A Prodigal Prayer

Come home, for your father is waiting
Come home, He’s been searching for you.
He’s been watching and waiting, hoping and praying,
And He knows just what you’ve been through.
Come home, for your father is mourning.
Come home, he still stands vigil for you,
With eternal compassion and love never ending;
Come home, you’ll find out that it's true.
He will run to meet you,
He will give you his ring.
He will throw you a party,
The whole family will sing.
Music will play and wine will flow,
As you're honored, loved, and adored.
And your father's heart will fill with joy
Because you've chosen to be lost no more.
Give in, your home is still waiting;
Give in, simply kneel down and pray.
There's no need for shame,
Just simple repentance
As you say you’re sorry for walking away.
