Brings tears to my eyes...

PRODIGAL SON - FRED HAMMOND

tHE LONELIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD IS WITHOUT YOU

Too many of my days Lord, I've tried to spend there

Searching for what I know was only found in you

I strayed so far away...

I wasn't sure you were still there...

But deep in my heart was a faint security

And I could almost feel your open arms

And hear you say to me...

"Prodigal son, Come back to my love

You are the one, That my heart seeks for

Whatever you've done...

I cannot even remember...

Although there are many in my house

It's still empty without my prodigal son"

Have you so much mercy you would pardon me

It's so hard to believe... your love would hide my sins

And even though you take the past far away from me

Could this be a chance to have my place in You again

Speak clear to me Lord...

That my faith would fully mend

If this is a chance to come home...

Then would you please say again...

"Prodigal son, Come back to my love

You are the one, That my heart seeks for

Whatever you've done...

I cannot even remember...

Although there are many in my house

It's still empty without my prodigal son"

"And what makes you think, Im no longer your father

For nothing can separate you from my love

And each day I go out to the road where you departed

Saying maybe today my lost one will come

And in hopes of your return

I stand with open arms, saying..."

"Prodigal son, Come back to my love

You are the one That my heart seeks for

Whatever you've done, I cannot even remember

Although there are many in my house

Fulfill my joy and come to me prodigal son

Please hurry home, Because I love you..."

Hands down, my favorite song ever.

I feel like anyone with a relationship with God can relate to this song at some point in their life. It's such a beautiful representation of God's love for his children. People often hold this misconstrued idea that God is some angry God sitting on his throne waiting to condemn & punish us for doing wrong.

That's not the case.

His love is unconditional & unfailing.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:38-39

This song always bring tears to my eyes.

Always.
