A Note From Ray... I wrote this song a long time ago, after reading a story in the Bible that is frequently called "The Prodigal Son". Almost everyone knows about how the younger of two brothers demanded his inheritance from his father, and then squandered it in a far off country with "wild living". When he finally repented and came home, his father was thrilled...but his older brother was not. In fact, the older brother refused to even go into the house to join the celebration of his younger brother's return. The father went out to the older brother and said to him, "You are mine, and all that I have is yours. But it is right that we should rejoice...because your brother who was dead is alive again" (Luke 15:31-32). We don't know what the older brother did next, but I hope he repented...and maybe his response to his brother eventually went something like the words of this song.		Hey, Little Brother     Words and music by Ray Boltz CHORUS: Hey, little brother, welcome back home It's good to see you again Hey, little brother, welcome back home To your family and your friends CHORUS Now you do not know What your Father's been through At night He would call out your name Then for hours untold He would stare down the road Praying you'd come home again CHORUS I must confess I was quite envious When I heard what Father planned to do But after I talked to Him I realized I had been Almost as far from home as you I was almost as far from home as you, so CHORUS Oh, dear brother run into my arms And tell me you are home to stay For there is no other Father like ours And we're so glad you're here today Yes, we're so glad you're here today CHORUS (repeat) ©2002 Shepherd Boy Music/ASCAP.
