Wanted to show my full range As the fam began to celebrate Enemy already set the bait The oldest son was the only one not present We find him busy working the field with a spirit of resentment See, his little bro cut ties to live in recklessness Told the Father to hand over his settlement Some say he should've been stoned for this behavior But the Father showed mercy with hopes that this would change him The younger son left down the road off the map He left the older brother alone at home to hold the bag The sudden return got folks looking like they don't know how to act You can imagine the older bro is knowing that & ain't holding back His anger bottled up like somebody shook a soda can Can't believe they let'em walk up in here like he don't owe his dad I heard he blew all his funds, but you already knew that he'd come As the work day finished, music grew louder The older son drew near to the sounds, but Rather than to enter he pulled aside a servant Asked about the party trying to determine the purpose When he heard it was celebrating the young rebel Bitterness within began to rage just like a devil Instead of offering peace to his sibling he refused to partake in the festivities Entreated by his father to humble himself and come inside His answer was no surprise filled with presumptive pride How he served for years & didn't disobey But never received even a goat to his disdain Accusations of favoritism mind set of a victim Deep seeded hatred within him allow me to explain this depiction God is the Father rich in mercy toward His children Treating both sons as equal although different conditions The younger a rebel the older is self righteous Many shocked at the Father's reaction priceless See both of'em were separated from the Father at heart Jesus illustrates this instance describing the distance apart Pharisees say this man receives sinners and eats with them Many left His Presence once He began to teach to them How would you respond if you seen your brother turn & come home How will you receive the return of a lost soul
