Come Running Like a Prodigal

He never had much direction or patience for that matter Often making the wrong selection because of the latter He had extremely little respect and did whatever he chose The important things he'd neglect and from that problems arose He blew every chance, and tore down everything he did build In just wanting to dance important matters went unfilled There was never a change for things always remained the same In not being able to rearrange he just got used to the shame But he did learn one thing, one gift he never forgot The Lord's praises he could sing he just didn't do it a lot But then he began to, more and more each passing day Seems his Spirit would renew each time that he would pray Now. the tears filling up my eyes as I look back on it (all) Coming to realize there was someone who on me never quit Paying in full the debt I owe, now you know why each tear Looking back on it, what I didn't know, was Jesus was always so near Psalm 73:28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.

Thank you Jo Daniel. Your poem is excellent as well. I could feel the words in my heart as I read them. Such great soldiers for the Lord.
