The Prodigal Father Responds With Open Arms

As the child returns home - the Father greets him with open arms and unconditional love & acceptance.

OPEN ARMS

Child you've come!  You've finally come!
Here I am, waiting still.
I love you so much - more than you know.
Come into my arms,
I love you!

Open arms.  Open arms.  Open arms of love.
No condemnation.  No disappointment.
Only celebration and tears of joy.
I don't care where you've been, child -
I'm just glad you are here!

Open arms.  Come into my open arms.
Don't try to hide your dirtiness - just come!
Don't hesitate and wonder what I think - just come.
Don't wait another second - just come.

I am running to you, child, with open arms.
I've seen you coming from far away.
I will stop at nothing to embrace you,
To pull you tight and tell you I love you!
I'm so glad you are here.
