Can’t Love You Less (The Prodigal Son)
I had two sons
I loved them so
The younger came
Told me to know
That he wanted
What I owed him
Inheritance
He wanted then
I gave him that
Did not say no
I did not want
Him to then go
But off he went
My heart broken
My spirit crushed
My soul was drained
I could not trust
My son no more
He broke my heart
Yet his heart was
Loved from the start
He went away
Far far away
Spent all he had
To spend that day
He fed the pigs
Wanted to eat
What he fed them
In scorching heat
Remembered he
My loving arms
How he was safe
And saved from harm
And off he went
I still missed him
And prayed he would
Come back to me
Waiting I stood
And though he ran
My heart he crushed
I still loved him
And loved him much
He came back to
My loving arms
To work for me
And work quite hard
But while far off
I saw him then
My son walking
I ran to him
My arms I threw
Around his neck
Threw a party
Loved him no less
Than before
My heart rejoiced
My soul proclaimed
My son was lost
Now found and safe
Still loved my son
Lifted his head
Cause he's alive
Before was dead
Why do I love
And love again?
I love much for
I'm forgiven
You're always loved
For nothing you do
Can then effect
The way I love
Can't love you less.
