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
Where are you why are you hiding
Who told you you're unfit for abiding with me
Songs are sung from broken bones
And truth has cleansed you white like snow
You should know I'm waiting here and I've always been
And I've loved you when you least expected it
You should know I'm waiting here and I've always been
Even when my love has been rejected
The rain falls on the righteous and the wicked
