The Prodigal Lyrics by Russ Lee

The Second Mile

0

The car door slammed
She drove away
Tears fell down like pouring rain
The words she spoke
They cut you like a knife
She said, "I hate you
And I don't want you in my life"
Now you think about her all the time
As the days turn into years
You pray that God will keep her safe
And you wonder if He hears
Then a voice breaks through the silence
And tears fall on the phone
She says, "I'm sorry that I hurt you
I wanna come back home"
When the prodigal returns
The tears of joy will flow
And everyone will know
That the Grace of God is real
When the prodigal returns
The bridges that were burned
Will be built again by faith
And it's always worth the wait
When the prodigal returns
I find myself too many times
Running away from what I know is right
I go my own way always to find
The grass is never greener on the other side
Every dark and lonely road I've known
Has led me back to You
As Your voice speaks to this rebel heart
I know what I must do
When the prodigal returns
The tears of joy will flow
And everyone will know
That the Grace of God is real
When the prodigal returns
The bridges I have burned
Will be built again by faith
They'll be built again by faith
It's always worth the wait
When the prodigal returns
When the prodigal returns
Oh, when the prodigal
When the prodigal
Hey, it's always worth the wait
They'll be built again by faith
When the prodigal
When the prodigal returns
It's always worth the wait
Such a work of grace
Built again by faith...
