Prodigal Me (Shane Barnard)

What have I done to get me here?

Unraveled and undone

 I need my father

What have I done? 

I’ve followed my feet to nowhere

Now I’m here!

As I ran, I can run no more

Prodigal me.

The mountains to the west

I hear them laugh at me

They know I’m scared to cross

and leave this life I lead

Oh my pride!

I give you up a barter for my freedom

What will they think as I come stumbling

down to join their lives?

I need to cross this mountain and find my way home

I seek no greater fortune

Rescue me

Oh unmerciful divide, be merciful tonight

Show me the other side

Prodigal me

The mountains to the east, they’ve swallowed my beloved

This house completely incomplete, where is my mortar?

Where did he go?  He followed his feet to nowhere

Please come home!

You’ve done me no wrong

Each evening I look down that road

I hope and wait for you

and my servants, they look down that road

We watch and pray for you

Master, master, who’s that man stumbling down that road?

Could it be the one?  could it be?  could it be?

Master, master, it’s Your son

coming home to join our lives

I’m looking down this mountain

I see my way home

There is no greater fortune, I believe!

Oh, unmerciful divine, you laugh at me no more

Oh, I’ve reached the other side!

Prodigal me

Could I be the one?  could I be? could I be?

Father, Father, we’re Your sons

coming home to join Your life

We’ve finally crossed this mountain,

and found our way home

There is no greater fortune than Jesus

Oh, how merciful is our God who gave His only Son!

Oh, we worship You tonight!
