The Prodigal Song

[INTRO]
B / / / / / | D#m / / / / / | C# / / / / / | / / / / / /

[VERSE 1]
        B                       F#/A#         C#
And how faintly I remember Your love song over me
        B                          F#/A#         C#
But the further that I wonder, the noise is deafening
        G#m          B            F#          C#
Now the only thing I feel is, how far You are away
         G#m            B            F#           C#
But this distance now between us, is driving me insane

[CHORUS 1] 
         B        D#m             C#sus C#
Father I miss You,    my heart is ready now
              B                        D#m
To follow the sound, the sound of Your voice
              C#sus  C#
That echoes inside
            B        D#m           C#sus   C#  
Father I'm desperate,    I lost my way somehow 
             B                        D#m
I follow the truth, the truth of Your love
              C#sus   C#
Back into the light

[TAG]
             B    D#m              C#
Lead me back home,    lead me back home

[VERSE 2]
      B                              F#/A#               C#
And I traded trust for pleasure, and diamonds for fool's gold
  B                          F#/A#               C#
I made the world my treasure, but under price my soul
      G#m                 B           F#        C#
And a whisper through the numbness, a melody of hope
     G#m           B          F#              C#
That love song I remember, is leading me back home

[BRIDGE]
      B     C#          D#m         F#                  C#
But I never reached the gate before You come running to me
        B         C#          D#m        F#           C#
All the words I rehearsed for days, just fall at Your feet
       B     C#          D#m         F#                  C# 
Lord I never reached the gate before You come running to me
        B       C#    D#m      F#            C#
All the years I threw away one embrace are redeemed

[CHORUS 2]
         B          D#m             C#sus  C#
Father I missed You,    my heart is over - whelmed
             B                 D#m              C#sus  C#
Here in Your arms is where I belong, forever at home
         B        D#m             C#sus     C#
Father I love You,    nothing can take Your place
             B                       D#m              C#sus  C#
You were the First and You'll be the last, Love of my soul
