Jon Morris - For a Friend (2000)

Jon Morris - 05 - Prodigal

The world hedged me in again today
Thought I wanted to follow the path it showed me
It lead me down a twisty winding way
Again I found that fortune isn’t free

I looked at the mire that I called my home
The place where fortune had dumped me
I was tired, I no longer wanted to roam
I cried out for someone to save me

	You take me in your hands
	You show me the truth: my life was built upon the sand
	Your word is there to guide me home
	Your will for me is to trust in you alone

My senses returned leaving me this view:
I’d be better off as one of your hired ones
I’ve sinned against heaven and against you
I’m no longer worthy to be called your son

	You ran to me You ran to me
	You saw me and began to run
	You ran to me You ran to me
	You welcome me as your son

	"Do not fear for I am with you" Your words comfort me
	"Don’t dismay, I am your God" Your love brings me peace
	"I will strengthen, I will help you" You have set me free
	"In my right hand I will hold you" For eternity
