Lyrics
Verse 1
Love for all, and can it be? Can I hope it is for me I, who strayed so long ago, Strayed so far and fell so low?
Verse 2
I the disobedient child, wWayward, passionate, and wild I, who left my Father's home, In forbidden ways to roam.
Verse 3
I, who spurned His loving hold; I who would not be controlled I who would not hear His call; I the willful prodigal.
Verse 4
To my Father, can I go? At His feet myself I'll throw; In His house there yet may be place, A servant's place for me.
Verse 5
See! My Father waiting stands; see! He reaches out His hands: God is love, I know, I see, Love for me yes, even me.
