Prodigal’s Song

Here I am, just a poor man
Made poorer still by the knowledge
Of the riches I have squandered
Oh, I've wandered, I stand convicted
Even knowing that the deepest of my wounds
Were mostly self-inflicted
Where did my heart go? Where have I been?
You opened my eyes to the darkness and lies
And I shut them again

And I want to go home to my Father
I want to be part of where my heart says I belong
I want to wash my weary soul in living water
I've been away way too long, I want to go home

Out on the bound'ries of my freedom
I was lookin' for fences that would keep me in
And I found there were none
Only Your sweet love, Lord
And fool that I've been
You broke the chains to my heartache and pain
And I forged them again

And I want to go home to my Father
I want to be part of where my heart says I belong
I want to wash my weary soul in living water
I've been away way too long, I want to go home

Oh, Jesus, Lord, please help me
I'm so full of regret
It's so hard to forgive myself
And it's harder to forget
I need you to hold me and heal me
To mold me and steel me
By the power of your Word to be the son
You've called me to be

I want to go home to my Father
I want to be part of where my heart says I belong
I want to wash my weary soul in living water
I've been away way too long, I want to go home
I've been away way too long, I want to go home
