Far, Far Away / I Will ArIse
Hymnal: Voices Together #300 (2020) Meter: 10.8.8.7 Scripture: Luke 15:1-24 First Line: Far, far away from my loving father Refrain First Line: I will arise and go to Jesus Lyrics: 1 Far, far away from my loving father,
I had been wand’ring, wayward, wild,
fearing only lest his anger
overtake his sinful child.
Refrain:
I will arise and go to Jesus,
he will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Savior,
oh, there are ten thousand charms.
2 Fain had I fed on the husks around me,
till to myself I came, and said,
“Plenty have my father’s servants;
perish I for want of bread.” [Refrain]
3 I will arise, though faint and weary,
home to my father I will go.
Woe to me that e’er I wandered,
ah, that I such need should know. [Refrain]
4 “Father,” I’ll say, “I have sinned before thee,
no more may I be called thy son.
Make me only as thy servant;
pity me, a wretch undone!” [Refrain]
5 Then I arose and came to my father.
Mercy amazing! Love unknown!
He beheld me, ran, embraced me,
pardoned, welcomed, called me “son”! Topics: Comfort; Confession of Sin; Conversion and New Life; Forgiveness From God; Parables; Reconciliation; Repentance Tune Title: RESTORATION (I WILL ARISE)
