  • It's been a long time since you felt peace
    In the valley you made where you're not meant to be
    Where the shame throws shadows on you
    But don't you forget
    That you're headed to more
    But you've settled for less
    Don't buy the lie "it's as good as it gets"
    The same feet that left you lost and alone
    Are the very same feet that'll bring you back home

    Wherever you are, whatever you did
    It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
    Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
    This is where your heart belongs
    Come running like a prodigal
    Come running like a prodigal

    There will be nights, when you hear whispers
    Of the life you once knew, don't let it linger
    'Cause there's a grace that falls upon you
    Don't you forget
    In the places your weak
    He is very strong
    Don't ever believe "you don't deserve love"
    The same God that protects you when you're lost and alone
    Is the very same God that is calling you home

    Wherever you are, whatever you did
    It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
    Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
    This is where your heart belongs
    Come running like a prodigal
    Come running like a prodigal

    Oh
    Let your life be made new
    Oh
    As you come into view
    Your Father's not waiting, no he's running too
    He's running straight to you

    Wherever you are, whatever you did
    Wherever you are, whatever you did
    It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
    Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
    This is where your heart belongs
    Come running like a prodigal
    Come running like a prodigal
    Come running like a prodigal
    Come running like a prodigal Writer/s: BEN MCDONALD, DAVE FREY, SETH MOSLEY
