My child come home I never left you alone When did you first believe I would hold from you anything I've given you my love my name Shedding tears and blood to heal your shame Where are you why are you hiding Who told you you're not fit to stand beside me All the songs I sing when you're undone And joy is made fall in the salvation As time slips by I stand alone While you gain the world But lose your soul
I long to say the words to make to turn from lesser things I long to light your path to keep your feet from stumbling My eyes on the horizon oh if you could know How I wait to see your distant shape, my prodigal come home My child return you've not gone too far to forgive Why did you first yield your heart To things that tear the soul apart Along to speak the verse this one was dead and is now alive again
