• Prodigal Son

  This song by Decemberadio is a take from the the parable of the lost son found in Luke 15 11-32. It is a modern view of the wayward traveler. This song is titled; "Drifter"

  I used to have a home.
  A place I started from. A place to call
  my own bright lights and late nights. The
  devil took me on a midnight ride.
  Left me out in the desert on my own.
  Now I feel alone
  I need a hand to help me find my way back home.
  I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
  trying to find my way back home
  to get to you
  Oh to get to you
  Lord I've been gone for far too long,
  headed to places I don't belong
  and I've got to get back
  home to you. Sometimes I think about the past
  and the road that I was on, the one that lead me home
  I'll walk on another day
  I may wander but I'll never stray, cause I found out the hard way
  sin don't pay.
  Now I feel alone, I need a hand to help me
  find my way back home
  I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
  trying to find my way back home
  to get to you
  Oh to get to you
  Lord I've been gone for far too long
  headed to places I don't belong
  and I've got to get back home to you
  and when I feel the night is closing in
  and I can barely breathe the air
  I just remember that I've got a friend
  who really cares
  Oh who really cares
  I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
  trying to find my way back home
  to get to you
  Oh to get to you
  Lord I've been gone for far too long
  headed to places I don't belong
  and I've got to get back home to you

   

  At one point or another Brothers and Sisters, we have all drifted. The beauty that God is showing us all through Luke chapter 15, The parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son, is that our Father is willing to overlook everything that was/ or is keeping us from Him as long as well love Him and are willing to return to His kingdom.

  The bus is coming so stick out your thunb for a ride home. Don't worry if you don't have any credits to ride, because Jesus Christ has already bought our tickets.

  Be Blessed!
