The Prodigal

It's sad how far I can fall from You
Blinded by the world's twisted views
They draw me in with cunning lies
With pleasant smiles but deceitful eyes
You're hurt when I choose them instead
When I follow the heartless, the lost and the dead
I've wasted precious time trying to fit in
But I finally saw what I was living in
I saw how broken I had become
How in my sin I became numb
I didn't see til it was to late
I had to learn from tragic mistakes
But the beautiful thing is You take me back
Despite everything that I lack
Though I spitefully shunned your loving embrace
You showered me with unwavering grace
I turned my back when You died for me
Though I left You, You'll never leave me.
