The Prodigal

The Prodigal Prodigal son Jeremiah 29:11 What have you done? “For I know the plans I That has taken you have for you,” declares the Lord so far away. "plans to prosper you and not to harm you to give you hope and a future." Prodigal boy, Your mother’s lost her joy Her days fill with sorrow Her prayers for tomorrow… She longs for a day That you will come to stay, In the safety of her love. She can’t protect you where you are! When will you come back to travel on the right track? Every day that you’re gone, The angels weep with her and dry her tears Through all those wasted years. Prodigal son where will you be When you reach end of your rope Do you still have hope? The drugs have dulled your mind, Your body filled with pain Your soul has lost its shine Are all her prayers in vain? Prodigal son There is a hope! It is never too late To let the arms of the Father Eliminate this fate. He will wrap you in His arms And give you a future and a hope. Come back and restore You’ll be better than before. Its not too late! He opens the gate And welcomes you with His love! Prodigal son You’re not undone! Grace Daub August 31, 2022
