Song Lyrics

"Prodigal"

by Josh Bates
Album: Perfect Day

I've got these rags I've been wearing everywhere I go
They're all I really own
Cause I sailed off over my horizons
Captain of my ship of fools
When I sailed without You
Here I am washed up on some distant shore
Empty and alone remembering once I had more
Once I had a love- once I was Yours

But You still love the prodigal
Broken on His knees
You love the prodigal
When all I have left is "Daddy, please"
You run out to take my hand and hold me in Your arms again
When the world tells me it's impossible
You still love the prodigal

I spent up everything You gave me and yet You pay the cost
For everything I lost
I'm praying You'll take as a servant me Your broken son
Daddy, I want to come home
But somehow through the distance before I could see
You were listening for my footsteps and come running out for me
Where else could I go but to my knees

Who was lost but now is found
Who was gone but now is alive in Him who loved the prodigal

You still love the prodigal
You still love me
You hold me in Your arms
No one like you, Jesus
No one like you, Jesus
