Father Of Forgiveness

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.

Well, 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)
