When the Prodigal Comes Home

"When the Prodigal Comes Home" sung at the Southwest Baptist Church of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Wednesday night, February 28th, 2024. See words below. In the mud and mire behind the fences Is when you finally came to your senses You said 'Even the servants in my Father's house Are better off than I am now' You didn't think He'd take you in Much less call you son again Instead you found a mercy so beautiful and wide That it looks beyond the foolishness to seek a wayward child There is no condemnation Just a Father who's been waiting To put His arms around you Oh the anticipation What a great celebration For you were lost but now He's found you There is only rejoicing and a tender kindness shown When the prodigal comes home Rehearsing words to beg Him for forgiveness Then down the road you saw Him in the distance As He ran to meet you face to face And wrapped you in His strong embrace The acceptance in His eyes Made you finally realize That He will always love you and you will always be His son No matter where you wander no matter what you've done There is no condemnation Just a Father who's been waiting To put His arms around you Oh the anticipation What a great celebration For you were lost but now He's found you There is only rejoicing and a tender kindness shown When the prodigal comes home And for every child of God Who's somehow lost their way Even now He's longing for you Can you hear Him say There is no condemnation Just a Father who's been waiting To put His arms around you Oh the anticipation What a great celebration For you were lost but now He's found you There is only rejoicing and a tender kindness shown When the prodigal comes home When the prodigal comes home When the prodigal comes home!
