lyrics

I am the rich young ruler walking away
with all my gold, without my soul
I am the prodigal returning home again
If I question your heart, will I ever reach your arms
And now I stop just to breathe
You've been waiting here for me

I come back but I always leave
It's you who's chasing me
I grasp impossibly
But it's you embracing me
And I try to sing your melody
But the words I need escape my reach
Cause the song is yours and you're singing it to me

I am the wicked servant, lost and afraid
I doubt your heart and bury what you gave
And I feel like Judas, refusing to be saved
I hang myself in shame as you rise from the grave

Before I ever could have hoped to face you, you still came
Before I ever tried to embrace you, you still came
Before I ever could have hoped to follow
