Prodigal Lyrics
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
And I’ve held out as long as I can
Now I’m letting go and holding out my hand
Daddy, here I am again
Will You take me back tonight
I went and made the world my friend
And it left me high and dry
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in
Not worthy to be called Your son
Is this to be my end
Daddy, here I am
Here I am again
Curse this morning sun
Drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I’ve sown
Of living with my shame
Welcome to my world
And the life that I have made
Where one day you’re a prince
The next day you’re a slave
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
Now I’m letting go and holding out my hand
Will You take me back tonight
I went and made the world my friend
And it left me high and dry
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in
Not worthy to be called Your son
Is this to be my end
Daddy, here I am
Here I am again
Drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I’ve sown
Of living with my shame
Welcome to my world
And the life that I have made
Where one day you’re a prince
The next day you’re a slave

This story is repeated all throughout the Bible. The Old Testament Israelites were constantly stuck in this cycle: doing their own thing, realizing their fault, and crawling back to God. God, who we wrong again and again, accepts us back. Not only does he accept us, but he hikes up his robes, exposes his ankles and runs to embrace us. That's the depth of his love. Despite the fact that we "drag His name through the mud" that we wallow in, he loves us.
