Bridge #2 and Welcome Home (from 'Prodigal Son') by Chris Inglis — Lyrics
Father: Thank God, son, that you’re home.
I’m a happy man!
Son 1: And I’ll do all I can to deserve it.
F.: Wake the house
Mother: Thank God, son, that you’re home.
F.: Light the lights! Kill the fated calf.
M.: I’m the happy one!
Let the wine, the ring, the robe confirm it.
Son 2: I’ve always listened to ev’rything you say.

About Bridge #2 and Welcome Home (from 'Prodigal Son')
This sacred anthem for solo STTB voices draws from the parable of the Prodigal Son, depicting the joyful reunion of a father and his returning son. The text beautifully captures the father's overwhelming relief and celebration, alongside the younger son's eagerness to atone. It also contrasts this with the elder son's bitterness at being overlooked. The music, sung in English, offers a moving exploration of forgiveness, acceptance, and familial love, making it a poignant choice for reflection and devotion.
