Song For Josiah - The Prodigal Son Album Version
Oh my son,
you were born in a world that hates you,
and I swear I will never forsake you,
but there was a father centuries ago,
who watched His beloved son die,
oooh die.
Oh my son, I am weak and I'm trembling
for the Lord I am always remembering.
Oh, what a strong shepherd holds you in his arms.
He'll break you and make you His own,
and then take you home.
Well, if I could I would protect you from what you will see.
This world may promise love and beauty,
but it lied to me.
And I will show you, if you will listen,
and I will promise to listen too.
Oh yes there are some who love the lies.
They will kill you if they can,
though you speak the truth with love.
They will hate you like the man,
Jesus,
although he was God,
He allowed Himself broken for you.
Himself broken for you.
And if I could I would protect you from what you will see.
This world just might seem so alive,
but it's dead to me.
And I will teach you if you will hear me,
and I will promise to hear you too.
Yes I do.
Oh my son I am only your brother,
for a sister God gave me your mother,
but just like the mother so long ago
had to watch her beloved son die, die,
oh son we will try
to let you go.
The Lord says to us tonight, He gave us his Son, why won't we give Him our life in return, all of it.
Why not?
