Never too Far!

No matter how far
we wander away,
we are never too far
from the Father’s heart!

No matter how much
we cease to belong,
the Father is waiting
to include us again!

For home is still home,
and love is still love -
our place isn’t taken
or gone...
for Jesus has said
he went to prepare
a place in the heavenly home
for each sinner
who’d come
and return!

So no matter how far
we have wandered away,
we’re still not too far
from his love!

The Father is waiting
with robe and with ring,
the calf has been fattened,
the party is ready -
it’s time to come home!
