Not Worthy

Listen to those angels,
What a glorious, grand refrain.
The Father’s face is glowing,
A sinner’s home again.

One of life’s great prodigals
Who fled the Father’s home,
Has gone into a country far,
As far as he could roam,

Enjoying sin for a season,
He lived and laughed at God,
Until life’s fortunes twisted led,
And life’s dark paths he trod.

And he awakened, having gone
As far as he could run,
To cry out, “I’m not worthy
To be my father’s son.”

And running fast as he could go
Through valleys, hills, and storms,
To seek to be a servant,
Into His Father’s arms.

Not worthy, Lord, not worthy
My heart’s consumed by sin;
And when God hears, “not worthy,”
The choir begins again.
