Found this hymn so beautifully touching during Lent last year, that I have posted it here in hopes that Catholics who have strayed away will return soon…and consider going for the Sacrament Of Reconciliation.
Hymn – Prodigal Son
By Father Eugene O’Reilly C.Ss.R (source internet)
…
1. Father I have sinned, help me find my way,
Remember not my sins, just let me hear You say
Chorus
I forgive you, I love you. You are mine, take my hand
Go in peace, sin no more, beloved one.
2. Father I have turned, my back and walked away
Depended on my strength, and loved life my own way
3. Father I have closed, my heart to those in need
Thought only of myself, a victim of my greed
4. Father I’ve returned, I’m home with You to stay
Standing by your door, knowing that You’ll say

This song was written by Father E. O’Reilly, a Canadian Redemptorist Priest. You might want to add his name to the lyrics.
Thank you for sharing that with me though I’m not exactly sure how to confirm the source. God bless….
Thank you for sharing the lyrics of this beautiful hymn. It’s one of the hymns I grew up singing with my mum and sister after praying the rosary.
You’re most welcome and God Bless you and all at home
