My
Son Has Returned
Go
kill the fatted calf, make merry this day
My son that was lost has
now found his way
No more a lost sheep away
from the fold
He’s
with the ninety and nine and now he is whole.

With
Mother, we walked slowly down the hill
Where
the river was so beautiful, calm and still
With
singing and shouting on the ground
Oh
sweet Mother, can you hear the angels’ sound?

How
happy my soul doeth rejoice today
Since
Jesus came and took my sins away
So
thankful and blessed to be baptized this day
And
to be an heir of Heaven with you Mother,
someday.

Dear
Dad, gone on to heavens bright land
Can
you see the rejoicing angel band
Through
heaven's windows, can you see me today
Your
son has returned ~ Jesus saved my soul that
day.

Now
I can meet you Dad in Heaven someday
Thank
you for the bottled prayers before you went
away
And
the Christian life you lived everyday
All
the blessings you received, how precious were
they.

Oh
Brothers and Sisters, if only you could feel
The
love my heart holds, Jesus’ spirit is real
Come
and go with me to that eternal shore
We
can walk with Dad and Jesus, parting will be no
more.

With
Jesus’ sweet arms around us, how happy we will
be
Oh
Brothers and Sisters please come and go with me
Dearest
Mother is a Christian, you can be too
Then
we can all go to heaven when this life is
through.

How
beautiful the robe Jesus has clothed me
with
How
precious this love, His eternal gift
New
shoes that will never wear out
How
Grand, How Grand... my soul does shout.

"Written
to my cousin, a Brother in the Lord"
One
of a family of twelve children on his baptism
day
