You've heard it said before

There is an open door


But you don't see


How it could be for you.




You've been away so long


You think you don't belong

Yet at the gate


The Father waits for you




It's time to stand and walk on up


Sit at the table, drink the cup


You have been invited, you will be received

It doesn't matter where you've been


The Father loved you even then


You have been invited. Come on in.




You've come the long way home


Your journey's almost done

You went so far


And now you aren't the same




You hunger and you thirst


You wait in shame


He bids you come to Him

He calls your name.
