A beautiful, sacred hymn referencing the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Music by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.
Text:
During a drought there’s faithful hope of a rescuing rain.
A distant cloud may seem afar, but God our life sustains.
All temples built must show great strength when erecting to God.
The earth’s great gift of severed stones shows a final façade.
Arid ground can be made whole; broken rocks can be strong.
God’s love is a Father’s love . . . even for the prodigal one.
Abraham’s age, and Sarah’s too, halted one promised heir
Until, with time, a miracle brought forth Isaac so fair.
Witnesses from within a crowd, begged a stoning one day,
But Jesus stooped and said with love, “Sin no more, go thy way.”
Waiting long can claim God’s will; He can bless to belong.
God’s love is a Father’s love . . . even for the prodigal one.
A prodigal left home too soon . . . riches squandered, abused,
Until at last all pride was gone; father’s kiss showing truth.
Some sin may come, or mortal pain; earthly choices are made.
Temptations soar, but Father, God, loves with grandeur displayed.
Coming home to Father’s love brings a brand-new song.
God’s love is a Father’s love . . . even for his prodigal one.
God’s pure love means coming home . . . especially for His prodigal one.
