Russ Lee Prodigal
V1
The car door slammed, she drove away
Tears fell down like pouring rain
The words she spoke they cut you like a knife
"I hate you and I don't want you in my life."
Now you think about her all the time
As the days turn into years
You pray that God will keep her safe
And you wonder if He hears
Then a voice breaks through the silence
Tears fall on the phone
She said "I'm sorry that I hurt you
I wanna come back home."
Chorus
When the prodigal returns
Tears of joy will flow
And everyone will know
That the Grace of God is real
When the prodigal returns
The bridges that were burned
Will be built again by faith
And it's always worth the wait
When the prodigal returns
V2
I find myself too many times
Running away from what I know is right
I go my own way always to find
The grass is never greener on the other side
Every dark and lonely road I've known
Has lead me back to you
As your voice speaks to this rebel heart
I know what I must do
Repeat Chorus
