A prodigal is someone who spends money or resources recklessly and is wastefully extravagant. All of us have been born sinners and begin wasting precious time on temporal pursuits and thus could be called prodigals. The prodigal son came to his senses and headed home to his father Lk 15:17. If you have been wasting your life on empty endeavours, something that will disappear and be worthless after you are gone, listen to the Father’s plea to come home and enjoy His love forever, while having a meaningful purpose in this life.

DEARLY LOVED CHILD OF MINE 1 Jn 4:19, PLEASE COME HOME 1 Ti 2:4 | God did not create you to condemn you but to save you Jn 3:17. His desire is that all mankind would come to know His love 2 Pe 3:9. |
DON’T YOU KNOW I’M ALWAYS WITH YOU Mt 28:20; Heb13:5. | God’s love is pure. He does not have any ulterior motive. He wants the best for you, just as any mother and father does.

Chorus | |
WHEN A CHILD IS LOST Lk 15:4 HOW A FATHER’S HEART ACHES | Surely, you can relate to the verses in Lk 15:12,13 of how a human father would be crushed by the insensitivity of his son. Jesus told this story to explain God the Father’s heart aches for His children when they turn from Him. It is not that God is feeling sorry for Himself because His son is ungrateful but because His son is going down the wrong path, one of destruction and this causes His heart to break. |
TO HEAL THIS HURT HIS LOVE IS ALL IT TAKES Ps 147:3 | When you come to your senses Lk 15:17 and realize that God is the only One who truly loves you unconditionally then this hurt is healed. |
REMEMBER CHILD FOR YOU HE BLED AND DIED 1 Pe 1:18,19 | God has proved His love for you when He died in your place for your sins. |
NOW THERE’S NOWHERE TO RUN NOWHERE YOU CAN HIDE Ps 139:7,8 | No, there’s no way of getting around the truth that God loves you and you can love Him back or continue to live for self and be your own god, but the consequence will be separation forever. |
CHORUS 2X | |
HE WAITS FOR YOU Mt 11:28-30 | God is hoping that you will not reject His love for you. |
