Who's that up the road? The man who went his own way Who wasted all his winnings Has he come home to stay? The son who'd lost his way Is back among the living Let's take it back to the beginning...
Oh, Father I've returned I'm sorry I was wrong I feel so undeserving After all I've done But I see your open eyes And I feel your spirit rising in my chest You're the Father of forgiveness (I've come home) You're the Father of forgiveness
Now that we are here And after all the tears Father what do you want from me? All I have is yours I don't have much to give But a heart that needs forgiving The flesh is tired but the spirit's willing
Oh, Father I've returned The one who left alone And you give me your kingdom And tell me it's my own And I see your open arms And I know that I have found my place of rest (the man's home) In the Father of forgiveness (I've come home) You're the Father of forgiveness
No need to run Under the son You are a brother
Answer the call He loves us all Just as the other
Just take the fall in total trust Like a child trust it's mother
Let's reach up to the Father (in Jesus Christ) Let's reach up to the Father (in Jesus Christ) Let's reach up to the Father (in Jesus Christ) Let's reach up to the Father!
Oh, Father I've returned I'm sorry I was wrong I feel so undeserving After all I've done And I see your open arms And I know that I have found my place of rest (the man's home) In the Father of forgiveness (the man's home -I've come home – the man's home) Oh, Father of forgiveness (welcome home)
