This song began as a love song (before I got into the Course), and yet even as I was writing it I understood that it was coming from a place within me beyond romantic love. My beloved at the time loved it, affirming for me what I already felt. And even as it sat incomplete for the longest time, I always knew that I would finish it (or it would finish itself), I just didn’t know when. And then, this past Christmas, it began to all come together with the addition of the chorus, “Come Home.” Little did I know that at this very time, a friend and pillar of the Maui community named “Home” had taken his life. This song is dedicated to him, in remembrance of the deepest longing within all of us to finally come home.
lyrics
"Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and learn what God’s treasure is and YOURS: This son of a loving father left his home and thought he squandered everything for nothing of any value, although he did not know its worthlessness at the time. He was ashamed to return to his father, because he thought he had hurt him. Yet when he came home, the father welcomed him with joy because only the son himself WAS his father’s treasure. He WANTED nothing else. "

“There is no death because the Son of God is like his Father.
Nothing you can do can change Eternal Love.
Forget your dreams of sin and guilt, and come with me instead
to share the resurrection of God's Son.
And bring with you all those whom He has sent to you
to care for as I care for you.”
