Story behind the song
Luke 15:11-13 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country...
Lyrics
Home From A Far Country First Verse A father looks out in the distance as the youngest of two sons Fades away into the horizon, another moment and he's gone His father knows what he's gettin' into It won't be like he thinks it is He says a prayer the Lord will bring him safely home again Chorus He said "My son's gone to a far country Tryin' to find out what life's all about Teach him Lord, bring him home somehow" Second Verse Sometime later, in a far country, there's a young man down and out He has squandered all that he came with, you'd hardly recognize him now He knows that he has sinned against Heaven He wishes he was home again Maybe he could go as a servant, would his father hire him? Chorus He said "Here I am in a far country I have found out what life's all about Help me Lord, to get home somehow" Bridge Every day his father kept a watch on the horizon There came a day his son came into sight The father took off running to him, he welcomed him home You could see the tears in both their eyes Chorus And his father said, "My sons home from a far country He has found out what life's all about He was lost but now thank God he's found!"
