Verse 1

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

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

Verse 2

I’ve sinned against Him
More ways than one
Didn’t deserve to be
Called His son
No greater love have I ever known
My Father ran to me
Said welcome home

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

Pre Chorus 2

No longer have to wander
Calling sons and daughters
After all He is the Father
He's a forgiving God
