The Prodigal

(início)

Am                C       G       Am
You held out Your arms, I walked away
F    C       G           Am
Insolent, I spurned Your face
Am               C        G       Am
Squandering the gifts You gave to me
     F       C       G       Am
And holding close forbidden things
F     C      G      Am      F       C      G
Destitute, a rebel still, a fool in all my pride
    F              C        G        Am
The world I once enjoyed is death to me
    F      G         Am
No joy, no hope, no life
Verse 2:
Where now are the friends that I had bought
Gone with every penny lost
What hope could there be for such as I
Sold out to a world of lies
Oh, to see Your face again, it seems so distant now
Could it be that You would take me back
A servant in Your house
Verse 3:
Am                C       G        Am
You held out Your arms, I see them still
    F      C        G     Am
You never left, You never will
Am            C        G      Am
Running to embrace me, now I know
     F         C        G       Am
Your cords of love will always hold
F        C       G       Am          F     C      G
Mercy’s robe, a ring of grace, such favor undeserved
F             C      G      Am
You sing over me and celebrate
    F     G        |C         Dm   C|
The rebel now Your child
