Like the Prodigal Son
When the road that you are on seems to be destroying your life repeat after me.
I’m lost and I need your help dear Lord to find my way back to you
Like the Prodigal son, I try to go my own way
Like the Prodigal son, I thought that I could make it on my own
Like the Prodigal son, I came back to my senses
Like the Prodigal son, I asked the Lord to take me back into his arms
And with love and open arms He took me back into his arms
Like the father did for the Prodigal son.
