Father’s Compassion

Description

FATHER’S COMPASSION

WITH HIS GOODS AND HIS MONEY, HE TOOK THAT LONG JOURNEY
AWAY FROM HIS FATHER FULFILLING HIS PASSION.
THIS LIFE WAS SO LIVELY, THERE IN THAT FAR COUNTRY
HE FORGOT ABOUT HOME AND THE FATHER’S COMPASSION.
EVERY BIT OF HIS TREASURE WAS WASTED ON PLEASURE
FEEDING THE SWINE BECAME HIS OCCUPATION.
THE LIFE HE WAS LEADING, THE SWINE HE WAS FEEDING
SHOWED HOW HE WAS NEEDING
THE FATHER’S COMPASSION.
HE AROSE AND CAME HOMEWARD,
H KEPT LOOKING ONWARD
HE NEVER LOOKED BACKWARD TO THAT COUNTRY’S FASHION.
THE FATHER RAN OUT TO MEET HIM,
WITH HIS LOVE HE DID GREET HIM
AND THE BOND THAT DID BIND THEM,
WAS THE FATHER’S COMPASSION.

CHORUS
COMPASSION WAS KNOWN, FOR COMPASSION WAS SHOWN
THE LOST SON HAD COME HOME, OH WHAT A CELEBRATION.
THE BEST ROBE HE WOULD WEAR,
THE RING AND SHOES WERE FOUND THERE
AND THE PRODIGAL SHARED IN THE FATHER’S COMPASSION.
COME HOME, COME HOME,
YE WHO ARE WEARY COME HOME.
EARNESTLY, TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING,
CALLING OH SINNER,
COME HOME AND SHARE IN THE FATHER’S COMPASSION.
