Honest Confession Is Good for the Soul

歌詞

We read in the Bible, you all my know Of a prodigal son that was saved here below Just open the book at the Gospel of Luke The fifteenth chapter will show How they brought forth the robe and the diamond ring How they did shout and how they did sing How they danced and they laughed all around the fatted calf While the father himself did sing Glory to God, the prodigal's come home Glory to God, the prodigal's come home From sin and from crime, and from feeding the swine Glory to God, he's come home How bright was his hopes leaving father that day When the prodigal son had just turned away From home and from rest and from all that was blessed He put not restraint on delay He had banished the thoughts of his dear father's home Wished only in freedom to roam Till friendless he stood without clothing or food He said, "I'll arise and go home" Glory to God, the prodigal's come home Glory to God, the prodigal's come home From sin and from crime, and from feeding the swine Glory to God, he's come home When the angry brother from the fields drew near The music and dancing was filling the air His servant he sent and he asked what it meant He told him his brother was here At the sight of the feast the angry brother said "For years I have labored and no feast was ever spread" But the father said, "Son, just remember all around "The dead is alive and the lost is found" Glory to God, the prodigal's come home Glory to God, the prodigal's come home From sin and from crime, to a real Christian life Glory to God, he's come home
