Prodigal

I ran away

because i was too busy living in my sin to have time for You

I stopped believing

because i thought my miracle had been taken, but that's not true

 

You watched me go

but You never let me out of your sight! 

 

I was ashamed

and i thought that You'd never take me back again

After all I've done

why would You even want anything to do with me, but then

 

You said come back

and I will carry you through the night! 

 

Prodigal son, oh won't you come

back to my arms because

You are one that I love

Prodigal son, please come home

back to the only Son

of God above. 

 

So here i am right now Jesus

My soul is bare because i can not stand

being the man i have been anymore. 

 

I'm not hiding now God

I know that I'm a man who needs grace and love

from the One who is above! 

 

Prodigal son, oh won't you come

back to my arms because

You are one that I love

Prodigal son, please come home

back to the only Son

of God above. 

 

Prodigal son, oh here I come

back to Your arms because

I am one of the many whom You love

I'm a prodigal son, please welcome me home

back to the only Son

of God above.

Awesome poem.

This is one we can all relate to.  A poem that speaks to the heart about a place we've all been in our Spiritual walk.
