Prodigal Son

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I remember how I loved You when I was just a boy

I'd fold my hands and pray to You my innocence and joy

But the years began to harden me the world began to pull

I traded in the holy words for a cup I thought was full

I walked away from everything the altar and the light

And chased the shadows of the world into the endless night

Pre-Chorus

I lost myself in strangers' beds I gave my soul away

I stood upon my arrogance and swore I'd never pray

I mocked Your name I closed my heart I fell into the trap

I told the world there is no God erased You from my map

I thought my pride would keep me warm I thought I was so brave

But all the things I worshipped then just led me to the grave

Chorus

Now I'm shivering in the ruins of the life I tried to build

My hands are shaking empty and my stubborn heart is chilled

Through these tearful eyes I'm looking at the sky I used to hate

Terrified it's been too long terrified it is too late

Will You take back a broken man who tore Your kingdom down

I'm weeping at Your feet Oh Lord please don't let me drown

Verse 2

I tried to find a universe where I was in control

But every sin I reveled in just hollowed out my soul

The fleeting love the hollow lust the atheistic pride

Were nothing but a barricade to hide the fear inside

Now my life has fallen into dust my plans have all decayed

And the man who said You didn't exist is shattered and afraid

Bridge

I cursed Your name I broke Your laws I spat upon Your grace

How can I even dare to ask to look upon Your face

I'm trembling as I hit my knees I have no right to plead

But You're the only hope I have the only Truth I need

I'm terrified You'll turn away and leave me in this cold

But I am begging for the love that I once knew of old

Chorus

Because I'm shivering in the ruins of the life I tried to build

My hands are shaking empty and my stubborn heart is chilled

Through these tearful eyes I'm looking at the sky I used to hate

Terrified it's been too long terrified it is too late

Will You take back a broken man who tore Your kingdom down

I'm weeping at Your feet Oh Lord please don't let me drown

Outro

I was the fool who said there is no God

But here I am broken on the floor

I am so sorry I am so sorry Lord

Will You still open up the door

I'm shivering I'm weeping

Please forgive Your straying son

I am done running I am done
