Song Background

Each and every day I pray to God that He will restore our son to his earthy family, and bring him home.  Oh Father, please hear our cry!  We need you now more than ever to bring him back home… he was led off as a slave, and willingly chose to dig his own spiritual grave-- completely separated from all that he was meant to be.  Oh Lord, bring him home!

The scriptural basis for this song is Luke 15:20-24, the story of the prodigal son…

Luke 15:20-24

“(20) And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (21) And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ (22) But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. (23) And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. (24) For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.”

 

Lord Bring Him Home - Lyrics

It's been so long, since he walked away and left us waiting here

Left in our tears alone... 

 

God, You know all, You know why he left and why he had to fall

Please Father bring him home... 

 

He fell away… But Lord we know You can save him! 

Oh that's why we pray You'll bring him back home today

 

We seek Your face Lord, the world is a dark and unforgiving place

We need Your grace, oh Lord... 

 

Hear our cry! We need You now more than ever to bring him back home, oh Lord

Hear our cry Lord! We come to You in all of our pain and we pray to You... 

Oh Lord, bring him home... 

Oh Lord, bring him home... 

Oh Lord, bring him home... 

 

He fell away… But Lord we know You can save him! 

Oh that's why we pray You'll bring him back home today

 

The time grows short, we know that You need to find him soon oh Lord! 

Please save his soul today…

 

Like the prodigal son, he was led to the gallows and turned into a slave

He dug his own grave, Oh Lord…

 

He fell away... but Lord we know You can save him! 

Oh that's why we pray You'll bring him back home today... 

 

Our final cry, is for You to descend, and open up the sky!

Bring him back home, oh Lord! 

Oh Lord...
