Prodigal

I woke up one day with a twisted mind

An idea so brilliant I could not wait

I said Father give me all my cut

I feel that I am old enough I'm moving out

The world welcomed me with its arms stretched wide

It made me feel so happy for a little while

I squandered everything on petty life

Then all the crowds I drew just disappeared from sight

Broke all alone

Oh I was lonelier than I could bear

No home all alone

I had family but I'd gone bad

Oooooow so sad so bad

I tried to face the world like I was SWAT on drugs

Man ther'ain't no winning when you've lost your track

Humiliated I was beaten down

That's when I remembered that my Father cares so

I told myself that I would rather be a hireling

Than eat the slop that I was feeding all the pigs aaaaeeew

What I needed was a moment of surrender

I chose to swallow up my pride

So I ran yes I ran

Back into the arms of my Father God

And He ran yes He came

And He embraced me with a Father's love

Ooooooh my Father loves me

Yeyeyeyeah Oh yes He loves me

Ooooooh my Father loves me

That's so cool Oh yes He loves me

My Father clothed me with His righteousness

He put a family ring upon my sin stained hands

To prove my rights He gave me shoes to wear

And to crown it all up He threw a feast for me

My other brother didn't like that part

He hoped that I should suffer for my foolishness

I thank the Lord that He is merciful

For how else could I be saved if I should pay my debt

I'd be gone (gone) so gone (gone)

Given up for dead but I'm alive again

I'm home (home) yes I'm home (home)

Thank you Lord for showing me the Father's love

Ooooooh my Father loves me

Yeyeyeyeah Oh yes He loves me

Ooooooh my Father loves me

Hallelujah Hallelujah Oh yes He loves me

Don't be caught up in your struggle
