Story Behind The Song

I was looking for a way to weave together the messages of several parables that relate to God's graciousness and generosity.

Song Description

Scripture-inspired Christian folk song weaving together the Wedding Feast, Prodigal Son, Wheat and Weeds, and Talents parables into a story of redemption and grace. Acoustic-driven arrangement with reflective male vocals and a hopeful, faith-centered message. Intended for Christian folk, singer-songwriter, discipleship, and inspirational listening audiences.

Lyrics

I was a rich and jealous fool
And an unmerciful slave
I didn't know the golden rule
Or that I had a soul to save

Still he called me as his guest
To a banquet for his son
He provided for and dressed
My beggared self and everyone

So you can find me at the Feast
Because he knows the Wheat from Weeds
Because he saw me on my knees
Now you can find me at the Feast

I was a selfish second son
And a father's worst nightmare
Took my money on the run
Faced my future unaware

When at last my wealth was done
I sought to join my father's staff
But even for a prodigal son
My father slew the fatted calf

So you can find me at the Feast
Because he knows the Wheat from Weeds

He warned a talent buried deep, doesn't bear a fruit to reap

Now you can find me at the Feast

So you can find me at the Feast
Because he knows the Wheat from Weeds
Because he saw me on my knees

Now you can find me at the Feast
