I am the son who fled his home
You are the Father I disowned
When grief was all my wandering earned
You held a feast when I returned
May I forgive, as I have been forgiven
May I lend, expecting nothing in return
May your power be perfected in my weakness
Oh God, give me grace
To love as I have been loved
I am the man beside the road
Beaten, bloody, dying slow
You are the one who stopped to help
Compassion thinks not of itself
May I forgive, as I have been forgiven
May I lend, expecting nothing in return
May your power be perfected in my weakness
Oh God, give me grace
To love as I have been loved
"Be merciful
Even as your father is merciful
Freely you received, freely give
Love your enemies
And bless those who curse you"
May I forgive, as I have been forgiven
May I lend, expecting nothing in return
May your power be perfected in my weakness
Oh God, give me grace
To love as I have been loved
