The Prodigal Son
A prodigal son once strayed from his father
To travel a land of hunger and pain
And now I can see the end of the journey
I'm going to heaven again

Goodbye to the world with all its sorrows
Goodbye to the field that I used to roam
I'm going away where life is eternal
My Shepherd is calling me home

I leave you the day to help all your neighbors
I leave you the night to solemnly pray
So try to repent and ask for forgiveness
We'll meet up in heaven someday

From out of the sky, He's coming to meet me
To wash all my sins and call me His own
His servants will bring a ring for my finger
And never no more will I roam

And now I must go back home to my Maker
Where kindness and love will us as one
So try to be strong if you're ever tempted
Remember the prodigal son
