Still Calls Me Son

Album: The Blessing (2007)

  • I drug his name through godless places
    And I've known shame that no child of his should know
    I've seen pain on broken faces
    Beyond all thought of hope
    I was just too far from home
    Still I always wondered when I closed my eyes

    After all I've done
    Could he run to me?
    And would he kiss my face?
    Could he even look at me?
    After where I've been
    Should he take me back?
    For I would understand
    I've disgraced him
    But it would be amazing
    If he still calls me son

    With nothing left for me to bring him
    I left my pride and turned my heart toward home
    I saw my home on the horizon
    And from a distance
    I saw my Father
    Watching for his own with forgiving eyes

    After all I'd done
    He just ran to me
    Then he kissed my face
    He would not let go of me
    After where I'd been
    He just welcomed me
    I didn't understand
    How he put his robe on me
    It was so amazing
    That he still call's me son

    One day as I breathe my last
    And I know my days on earth have ended
    When every hour is spent
    I will close my eyes in amazement
    And I'll hear angels
    They'll be singing

    Amazing Grace
    For he will run to me
    And he will kiss my face
    He will not let go of me
    After where I've been
    He will welcome me
    I won't understand
    How he'll put his robe on me
    It will be amazing
    That he still call's me son

    Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    When he calls me son
    I once was lost but now I'm found
    Cause he calls me, calls me Son
    It's so amazing heeey yeah Publisher: Capitol CMG Publishing, CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC
