ARE YOU A PRODIGAL ?
HE DROPPED OUTTA SCHOOL AND STARTED HANGIN WITH THUGS,
HE STARTED SMOKIN AND DRINKIN AND DOIN DRUGS.
BUT WHEN HE WAS DOWN ON HIS LUCK HE STARTED THINKIN ABOUT
HIS LOVING DAD, TEARS CAME TO HIS EYES WHEN HE THOUGHT OF
THE GOOD TIMES THAT THEY ONCE HAD.
BUT HE KEPT TELLING HIMSELF HE WILL NEVER FORGIVE ME FOR ALL
THE WRONG THAT I'VE DONE,
I AM TAKING THIS STORY FROM THE TEACHING OF JESUS ABOUT THE
PRODIGAL SON.
BUT PLEASE LET ME SAY THAT NO SIN IS TOO BIG THAT IT CANT BE ERASED,
BECAUSE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS THE GOD OF GRACE.
