wasted all his winningsHas he come home to stay?The son
who'd lost his wayIs back among the livingLet's take
it back to the beginning...Oh, Father I've returnedI'm
sorry I was wrongI feel so undeservingAfter all I've doneBut
I see your open eyesAnd I feel your spirit rising in my
chestYou're the Father of forgiveness (I've come
home)You're the Father of forgivenessNow that we are
hereAnd after all the tearsFather what do you want from me?All I
have is yoursI don't have much to giveBut a heart that needs
forgivingThe flesh is tired but the spirit's willingOh,
Father I've returnedThe one who left aloneAnd you give me
your kingdomAnd tell me it's my ownAnd I see your open
armsAnd 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 forgivenessNo need to runUnder

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
