Prodigals

Prodigals, coming home - A liturgy for one voice with congregational response.


Our fathering arises from human brokenness
And so is easily broken

We are your prodigals, coming home

Our fathering arises in a place where we struggle for power and control
And so it can become oppressive
Or even abusive

We are your prodigals, coming home

Our fathering finds the limits of our patience, our tolerance and our finances
It can be conditional
And we can be easily angered

We are your prodigals, coming home

Our fathering can be decayed by divorce and marital disharmony
It can become distant and removed

We are your prodigals, coming home
