Song Lyrics

"The Prodigal Son"

by Extol
Album: Mesmerized

Why did I leave'
Lost, fooled, confused.

Crawling in the mud with pigs, starved to death,
Discouragement strangling me; I have no breath.

Full of sorrow and despair, the father lets his son away,
Challenging the world, without fear, unknown of the evil atmosphere.

Imperfect man, imprudent mind,
Disobedient to the call of God.

Exhaustion becomes predominant,
Hell on Earth is where I am.

I'm longing back to a life in peace, with abundance of food and plenty of water.

I'll return to my father's house and tell him I'm worthless as his son,
"Father, please forgive me for I have sinned against you."

Regretting man, independent mind,
Attraction to the call of God.

With open arms, the father welcomes his son back,
He was dead and now became alive; he was lost, but now has been found.

Spiritual satisfaction, inner peace comes from the Father,
Spiritual satisfaction, inner peace comes from the Father.
