Prodigal

This song came out from a time where I felt so unworthy of Gods forgiveness. I felt that I had hurt God over and over and could not comprehend how God accepts back again and again. I told everyone the song meant a lot to me cos my whole life, I was the prodigal son. Prodigal means wasting something given in abundance. I was blessed all my life, given beyond what any one could ask for. Yet I rejected it all, I was not even grateful for my parents God blessed me with who showered me with love. Therefore I was like the prodigal son, feeling so unworthy when I stood at redemptions doorstep. Not only was I accepted with wide open arms, I was crowned…

Verse
Cast away, everything that is'nt you
Break away, the selfishness
Cos im sick and tired of running away
I don't wanna do this anymore
Today I remeber your love for me
But can I once again walk through that door

Chorus
If I could count the stars in the sky
Could it compare to how many times
I broke your heart
But still here you are with open arms

When the world is cold here I kept warm
This was the place I found my strength
Take cover
In the shelter of your wings
Here I find myself again

Verse
Tear them down, all the pride deep within
Demolish every barrier, that keeps me here from you
Cos this sinning has'nt got me anywhere
But spinning around in endless circles
Today once again im turning back
Today I decide im coming home

Chorus
If I could count the stars in the sky
Could it compare to how many times
I broke your heart
But still here you are with open arms

When the world is cold here I kept warm
This was the place I found my strength
Im coming back
Into the shelter of your wings
Where I find myself again

Bridge
Far away
Is that you i see
Staring back, staring back at me
Running fast, running fast to me
Calling out, calling out to me
Is that you I see?

Redemption, knocking at my doorstep
I lay me down
I aint gonna turn from you no more
I've had enough, of what this worlds to offer
Take me back
To the place that I belong
