Prodigal Son is pretty much my testimony and testimate to God's mercy and grace.

Prodigal Son
(c) 2007 Michael Arnett

Broken and desperate, Out of my mind
Help seemed too high on the shelf
No way out, no way to live my life
Deceit was the master of self
A dance with my demons,
Illusions and lies
Exhaustion and paranoid fears
A whisper of hope, went unheard
As denial, roared in my Ears.

Broken and desperate, Down on my knees
Faith shedding light on my fears
I took a journey of shame, Oh Father forgive
My footprints are filled with Your tears
Indulgence consumed me
Defeat my reward
To Your mercy and grace I run
I’m coming home, unworthy of Love
Please Save this prodigal son

Father of mercy, goodness and life
My sins have kept us apart
No longer worthy to be called your Son
Just grant me a servant’s heart
I’m broken and desperate
Down on my knees
To Your mercy and grace I run
I’m coming home, unworthy of Your Love
Please save this prodigal Son.

You gave a Robe of redemption, The Ring of Life
I’m fed by the feast of Your Word
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God
Their songs of rejoicing are heard
For a son that was lost, has been found
You showed me a Father’s heart
I came home, unworthy of your Love
But you saved, this prodigal Son.

I came home, unworthy of your Love
But you saved, this prodigal Son.
