Why all this fuss?
What did he do to deserve this feast of love?
Having never left home
maybe it's hard to know
what emptiness sin is,
to imagine how hungry a yearning heart can feel,
to picture spiritual starvation,
the agonizing self-depreciation
that turns us to true self-appreciation.
Welcome him.
Be glad that you never had to leave
to find your Father's love.
Rejoice and be merry,
each one of His children is home.
