The p rodigal Son had b een away aw hile
he was w orking his way h ome now
over many a ragged mile
when he f inally crossed the r iver
and his f ather s aw him n ear
There was a j oyful sound for a ll the world to h ear
I li stened to what the G ood Book said and it m ade good sense to m e
Talking bout r eaping what you're s owing and people t rying to be f ree
well now we've g ot new names and f aces th is time ar ound
g ospel c hanges Lord s till going d own
J esus he d id not doubt his g ifts
Tho he k new that he h ad not long to l ive
He t ook care of the b usiness of t eaching us h ow to f ly
and then he b owed his head and l aid down to d ie
I li stened to what the G ood Book said and it m ade good sense to m e
Talking bout r eaping what you're s owing and people t rying to be f ree
well now we've g ot new names and f aces th is time ar ound
g ospel c hanges Lord s till going d own
Jeru salem I s ee you standing h igh
But if you l ose your salv ation there'll be n o more tears to cry
Now s ome men worship the g olden calf while o thers are b ought and s old
And if we l ive like that br other we'll pay the t oll
I li stened to what the G ood Book said and it m ade good sense to m e
Talking bout r eaping what you're s owing and people t rying to be f ree
well now we've g ot new names and f aces th is time ar ound
