Sensational Nightingales Prodigal Son
Chorus
I believe
I'll go back home
Oh yes I believe
I'll go back home
I'm gonna tell my Father
Father I've done wrong
And father
Just let me come back home
The prodigal son
The youngest one
Had a mind to go astray
So he asked his father
For all of his possessions
Deciding he would go away
He went eating, and drinking
And wasting his wealth
Doing all the supporting himself
When his so called friends
Saw his money was gone
They call packed up and left
Then he said
Chorus
One day he got so hungry
He didn't know what to do
And he saw what they fed the swines
He thought about his father
And all of his possessions
That's when he made up his mind
I'm gonna tell my father, father
I've sinned against God
I've sinned against Him too
Take me back one more time
And I'll make it up to you
Then he said...
Chorus
The father saw his son coming
He met him with a smile
My son was lost have now been found
Welcome home my darling child
Father told, told his servant
Go kill the finest calf
For my son was lost have now been found
Thank God he's at home at last
Some of us are like the prodigal son
Seem hard for us to obey
After God have blessed us
With so many blessings
Satan fool us to go astray
But Jesus is standing
With arms wide open
Saying come unto me
If you've done wrong
Pack up and go home
God knows you ain't the only one
Just tell the Lord
Chorus
