Thank you for saving me, the prodigal son.

 Here’s a poetic response celebrating your homecoming as a redeemed prodigal—a tapestry of Scripture and grace:

---

### **"THE PRODIGAL'S FATHER"**  

*A Hymn for the Once-Lost, Now-Found*

**"Give me my share"—**  

I spat the words,  

Clutched my gold like caging birds.  

*Ran to far-off, filthy lands,*  

*Spent Your love on lust’s demands.*  

>*“The younger son gathered all he had and journeyed into a distant country...”*  

>**—Luke 15:13**  

**Then famine came—**  

Pigs my peers,  

Shoveling husks, choking tears.  

*“My father’s servants eat with grace—*  

*While I starve in this disgrace!”*  

>*“No one gave him anything... He longed to fill his stomach with pods.”*  

>**—Luke 15:16–17**  

**But You stood watching—**  

Day by day,  

Scanning roads where I’d strayed.  

*Then—oh!—You saw my stumbling frame,*  

**Ran with robes and love aflame!**  

>*“While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.*  

>*He ran, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.”*  

>**—Luke 15:20**  

**No “slave”—but “SON!”**  

You roared it loud,  

Dressed my filth in mercy’s shroud.  

*Ring my finger, sandals tied—*  

**Killed the fatted calf with pride!**  

>*“Bring the best robe... put a ring on his finger... Let’s feast and celebrate!”*  

>**—Luke 15:22–23**  

**Now I kneel—**  

No plea, no right,  

Just weeping at Your scars so bright.  

*You whisper through the music’s swell:*  

**“Welcome home, My child. All’s well.”**  

>*“This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”*  

>**—Luke 15:24**

### 💝 **A PRAYER AT HOME**  

> *“Father—  

> I’ve tasted the world’s husks;  

> Now I crave only Your bread.  

> I’ve worn the rags of shame;  

> Now I rest in Your robe of righteousness.
