To
regain the mantle
the
name of the living God
redeeming
what is lost
coming
back to Him
to
the Father, the Prodigals
our
spirit, our purpose
renewing
us in love
rising
up together
Mending
what is broken
the
divide between us
tearing
down the walls
the
barriers between us
coming
back to God, the Prodigals
gathering
our people in
none
to be seen as lost
all
are children of God
