" The Prodigal Son "
( Lyrics By Gerald Logan )
( Verse 1 )
I took my share and I walked away,
Chasing the night and the break of day,
Silver and gold slipped through my hands,
Built my house on shifting sands.
The wine ran dry, the friends were gone,
I found myself lost and alone,
Feeding swine in a foreign land,
Longing for my father’s hand.
( Chorus )
But the Father ran to meet me,
Arms wide open, grace so free,
I was dead but now I live,
Lost but found, forgiven again.
He clothed me in His mercy strong,
Called me His child, said I belong,
The feast of love had just begun,
I came home—the prodigal son.
( Verse 2 )
I rehearsed the words I planned to say,
“Father, forgive, I’ve gone astray,”
But before I could speak my shame,
He kissed my face and called my name.
“Bring the robe, the ring, the shoes,
Set the table, pour the juice,
What was broken is now restored,
What was lost is lost no more.”
( Chorus )
For the Father ran to meet me,
Arms wide open, grace so free,
I was dead but now I live,
Lost but found, forgiven again.
He clothed me in His mercy strong,
Called me His child, said I belong,
The feast of love had just begun,
I came home—the prodigal son.
( Bridge )
Oh, amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
The lost is found, redemption crowned.
No sin too deep, no night too long,
The Father’s love will bring you home.
( Chorus repeat with more power)
Yes, the Father runs to meet us,
Arms wide open, love that frees us,
We were dead but now we live,
Lost but found, forgiven again.
He robes us in His mercy strong,
Calls us His child, says we belong,
The feast of heaven has begun,
We are home—the prodigal sons.
( Outro )
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Grace has turned my life around.
At the Father’s table, I’ve just begun,
Forever home—the prodigal son.
