Prodigal Son
 
It's a crushing sensation, which I feel
When my thoughts drift toward you
My heart I know…Is slowly breaking
And there is nothing that I can do
 
How can a mother tear away from a child
And the only son, to whom she gave birth
How do I make my mind forget…
Happy times you brought, and their worth
 
My daughters, I hold dear to me
They too…. Are precious and sweet
But Son, you are needed at my side
To make my happiness complete……
 
As sure as there is a God up above
I'll still hold faith…you will return
First to the "Lord" That redeemed you
Second, to your family that yearn…..
 
So, until that time, my wayward Son
I'll pray the Lord ...wipe away my tears
And when the turning of your back is done
You'll appear…With God answering my prayers

Isaiah 65:24
"And it shall come to pass, that before they Call,
I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear"
 
 

 


 
A Prodigal Son
 
Does that lamp still burn in my Father's house,
Which he kindled the night I went away?
I turned once beneath the cedar boughs,
And marked it gleam with a golden ray;
Did he think to light me home some day?
 
Hungry here with the crunching swine,
Hungry harvest have I to reap;
In a dream I count my Father's kine,
I hear the tinkling bells of his sheep,
I watch his lambs that browse and leap.
 
There is plenty of bread at home,
His servants have bread enough and to spare;
The purple wine-fat froths with foam,
Oil and spices make sweet the air,
While I perish hungry and bare.
 
Rich and blessed those servants, rather
Than I who see not my Father's face!
I will arise and go to my Father:—
"Fallen from sonship, beggared of grace,
Grant me, Father, a servant's place."
