I have walked so far from home,
without a friend all alone.
I have lived a life of sin and shame,
have hurt so many, gave only pain.

My heart was somewhere it shouldn't be,
bound in chains, no way to be free.
My soul was lost on distant shores,
far from home, the rain of sin would pour.

My soul cried out to be relaeased,
from sin and shame just wanted peace.
I couldn't cry for help for shame,
just lived with all the guilt and pain.

then one night i came to a place,
where it seemed offered was only grace.
I was sitting there begging for life,
amid all my anger, fear and strife.

Then i heard a voice say to me,
My son i know you want to be free.
You been gone away for so long,
lost somewhere amid sins throng.

Don't you know you are my son,
faith in you, life had none.
Don't you know i've waited for today,
for you to come and ask to stay.

father please I don't deserve to be called your son,
my sin can not be undone.
My son he said again to me,
I have come to set you free.

take my hand give him a ring,
i have waited for you everyday, now able to sing.
through the tears, im unable to see,
how did the God of heaven still have faith in me?

through all of life and the things you've done,
you may be a prodigal, but your still my son.
