Prodigal Son

[Intro: Billy Graham]
Now, tonight, I want you to turn with me to the 15th chapter of Luke's gospel
And here is where Jesus is telling a story
He told about a son that wanted to get his inheritence
And leave home
And it's well known around the world as the Prodigal Son
This Prodigal Son is the picture of all of us
We've aimed for our personal happiness
And missed the mark of God's plan for our lives

[Verse 1: JustPierre]
Introduced to His love, been infused with His love
Got used to His love, start abusing His love
I'm not through with His love, I'm just saying, I need a little 'me' time
Father, give me what's mine, He gave me what's mine
And for the door I made a beeline
There's a whole world waiting for me
A whole lot of sights that I'm waiting to see
Can't nobody take this from me, Can't nobody take this from me
Everybody else following their dreams
It's time I follow mine, which is quite fair
But what I didn't know is that dreams have a way of turning into nightmares

[Chorus 1: Jared Grimble]
I've been running for so very long
Trying to do this all on my own
Gotta find my way back home
Gotta find my way back home
I've been running for so very long
Trying to do this all on my own
I gotta find my way back home
Gotta find my way back home

[Verse 2: JustPierre]
Now I'm out here, now I'm out here
Unaware what's our there
But I'm living without care
Til I ran into hardships, who could've guessed it
Thought I was living the dream
But lately, it's been feeling like Inception
Now I'm exhausted, I've run out of options
Man, I lost everything, now I'm down to a hog pin
Then I came to myself
And said, wait, this is no way to live
I remembered who my Father is
And even His servants live better than this

[Chorus 2: Jared Grimble]
I've been running for so very long
I'm tired of doing things on my own
It's time to find my way back home
Time to find my way back home
I've been running for so very long
I'm tired of doing things on my own
It's time to find my way back home
Time to find my way back home

[Verse 3: JustPierre]
Even though I did Him wrong, He never stopped caring for me
Though I was perishing, He stretched out His hands to me
Forgave me, then gave me the best robe, He lavished me
New ring, new shoes, and He killed the fatted calf for me
Wait, I thought we was family
Big brother, why you mad at me
We don't need no hateration, holleration in this dancerie
Yeah, I messed up, y'all, but even though I repented
It's always gon' be somebody that don't think you deserve forgiveness
But I ain't tripping, though, that's the problem with religious folk
Always condemning folk, like you ain't never sinned before
But that's side bar, I had to set the record straight
I was dead, now I'm alive
Let's celebrate

[Outro: Jared Grimble]
I've been running for so very long
Trying to do this all on my own
Gotta find my way back home
Gotta find my way back home
