Prodigal Son
I looked everywhere but hadn't found it.
I thought I hadn't left a stone unturned.
Now it seems that I had just been dancing all around it.
I ran away but now I have returned.
I honestly believed I was an island.
For nothing but the ocean did I see.
I hadn't realized that I was swimming in God's eyes.
That ocean was the love He feels for me.
Sometimes I feel like the prodigal son
Trying to get back to where I'd been.
I saw where I was heading so I got up to run
Back into God's open arms again.
I searched everywhere for the answers
Not knowing they were right there from the start.
Now it seems to me that I took too many chances
In looking for what lived with in my heart.
In the beginning I remember darkness
And reaching out, trying to find the light.
My soul with in me stirred and I knew my prayers were heard
Then with a word He gave me back my sight.
It's everywhere around me, it cannot be ignored
I just couldn't see it with my eyes.
He has loved me from before the moment I was born
And He will love me long past when I die.
But…
Sometimes I feel like the prodigal son
Trying to get back to where I'd been.
I saw where I was heading so I got up to run
Back into God's open arms again.
