Fred Hammond Prodigal Son Lyrics

Prodigal Son

The Loneliest place in the world is without you
Too many of my days Lord, I've tried to spend there
Searching for what I know was only found in you
I strayed so far away, I wasn't sure you were still there
But deep in my heart was a faint security
And I could almost feel your open arms
And hear you say to me

Chorus

Prodigal son, Come back to my love
You are the one that my heart seeks for
Whatever you've done, I cannot even remember
Although there are many in my house
It's still empty without my prodigal son

Have you so much mercy you would pardon me
It's so hard to believe your love would hide my sins
And even though you take the past far away from me
Could this be a chance to have my place in You again Speak clear to me Lord that my faith would fully mend
If this is a chance to come home
Then would you please say again

Chorus Bridge

And what makes you think I'm no longer your father
For nothing can separate you from my love
And each day I go out to the road where you departed
Saying maybe today my lost one will come
And in hopes of your return
I stand with open arms, saying

Chorus

Prodigal son, Come back to my love
You are the only one that my heart seeks for
Whatever you've done, I cannot remember
Although there are many in my house
Fulfill my joy and come to me prodigal son
Please hurry home, Because I love you
