I left my Father
When I was young
Wanted the world
So I spent it all, mm-mm
Searching for something
I didn't know
Was under the roof
Of my Father's home

But He's never broke a promise
Listen, 'cause He's calling
Jesus says He wants ya
He's a forgiving God

He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God

I've sinned against Him
More ways than one, yeah
Didn't deserve to be called His son
But no greater love have I ever known
My Father ran to me
Said: Welcome home

And He's never broke a promise
Listen, 'cause He's calling
Jesus says He wants ya
He's a forgiving God
No longer have to wander
Calling sons and daughters
After all, He is the Father
He's a forgiving God

He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You never left His heart
He's always thinking of you
He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God

He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You never left His heart
He's always thinking of you
He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God

He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You never left His heart
He's always thinking of you

And throw His arms around you

He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You never left His heart
He's always thinking of you

And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God

Whoa-oh, oh
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
(Oh, I know He is)
He's a forgiving God
(And He hasn't ever left your side)
What a friend, what a friend

You've been out on your own
Now it's time to come home
Just run to Jesus
Just run to Jesus

You've been out on your own
Now it's time to come home
Just run to Jesus
