You are the Father of the runaway child Peace for the one so rebellious and wild You went in the street, saw what laid at Your feet and smiled You love the one who decided to stay The role of perfection he was longing to play You gave it all up for all he still could not pay Whether prodigal or perfection All are lambs who've gone astray We were drowning in the deception Until we heard You say, "I love you." Oh my dear Father, You're patient and kind To reach out to all those who walk around blind We could search this whole world and no greater love we would find Whether prodigals or perfections We will all stand side by side Under the cross of redemption With one voice, all of Your children will cry "I love You, I love You with all my heart. I want You, I want You to be my Home" Wherever You are is where I want to be Wherever you are I'm home now "I love you, I love you with all My heart. I want you, I want you to be My home"
