The Lost Son
by Dee Kyalo Wealthy and generous is he, this I know full well I'll ask for my portion, never been denied anything Need to go far away, here I won't dwell Get early inheritance, now that's the thing! Watch out little world, here I draw unto thee! What's to see? What's to eat? What's do? A child of affluence, that's me Heartbeat of the party, let what may ensue Emptiness strikes, that didn't happen I can't be broke, what a shame! This lack and deficiency, life's misshapen Find work to do, then go back to the same Hunger, starvation and famine, yet the swine feeds My right mind speaks, return home I must Compassionate is he, yet embarrassing are my deeds Please let me work for you, my speech to win his trust Daily watching and waiting, today it pays off The lost son's coming home, this is the day There in the distant, seen from afar off Arms of compassion, meet him on the way Tears of forgiveness, mercy and grace! Prepare a giant feast, we're in celebration! No more dishonor, there's joy in this place! He was lost but now he's back, reason for jubilation! Luke 15:11-32 is a wonderful picture of God's grace. If you are like me, who was once lost but now has been found, then we have a reason to rejoice.
