Lyrics

Verse 1
A young man took his portion, left his father’s home behind,
In a far-off land, he wandered, seeking pleasures he could find.
But his riches turned to rags, in famine’s bitter hold,
With a broken heart, he cried, “I’ll return to love of old!”
Chorus
The prodigal’s return, oh, what mercy flows today!
The Father runs to meet him, wipes his tears and shame away!
With a robe and ring, His love restores the lost to stay,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, for the prodigal’s return!
Verse 2
He rose and journeyed homeward, with repentance in his soul,
“I’m no more worthy,” he confessed, “yet my Father’s love I know.”
From afar, his father saw him, with compassion in His eyes,
Ran to embrace His wayward child, ‘neath the joyful, welcoming skies!
Chorus
The prodigal’s return, oh, what mercy flows today!
The Father runs to meet him, wipes his tears and shame away!
With a robe and ring, His love restores the lost to stay,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, for the prodigal’s return!
Bridge
The feast is spread, the music rings, for the son once dead now lives!
God’s grace abounds, His mercy sings, to the lost, His love He gives!
Oh, come, ye sinners, turn and see, His arms are open wide!
Chorus
The prodigal’s return, oh, what mercy flows today!
The Father runs to meet him, wipes his tears and shame away!
With a robe and ring, His love restores the lost to stay,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, for the prodigal’s return!
Outro
Come home, oh, come home… His love will make you whole!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord… for the prodigal’s return!
