Hear a child demand his freedom,
Grasping for life,
Careless with his greatest treasure:
All his Father's love.

Through the years of waste and wandering
So far from home,
Still a waiting heart is watching
With a Father's love.

How the Father runs to meet him!
See their embrace!
Sin is turned to joy and promise
By a Father's love.

Still a waiting heart is calling
All far from home.
Come and know this sweet forgiveness.
Find your Father's love.
