Empty Smith
by Empty Smith
       
Lyrics:

I sit here at this table a vile and sinful man
I came back to work the stables but instead my Father ran
To my broken sorry body trudging on life's weary way
There His splendor met my squalor. My rejection met His Grace

When I recall my self destruction my wicked life and all I chose
I'd understand if He was seething but He instead says "Welcome home!"

How He threw His arms around me and pulled me in so tight
His embrace was like a rainstorm to a desert dead and dry
And all my lack and my affliction went spilling out from both our eyes
Mine because I ain't been living. His because I was alive

When I recall my self destruction my wicked life and all I chose
I'd understand if He was grieving but He instead says "Welcome home!"

He put a ring on my finger and a robe over my back
A pair of sandals on my blistering feet and called to kill the calf
So I could feast instead of hunger. So I could drink instead of thirst
I bring nothing to the table. He gave His best to get my worst

When I recall my self destruction my wicked life and all I chose
I'd understand if He'd want me leaving but He instead says "Welcome home!"
