lyrics

Son here's a story,
About love and about grace;
One chance to change your life,
One chance to set it straight.
Well I'm poor and I'm a sinner,
But I'm loved beyond the grave;
I am loved by your mother and loved by the one who saves.

I'm held fast,
In the arms of my father,
Just like I,
Hold you in my own,
Hold onto,
These words son don't forget them;
Your held fast too in his love.

There were two other brothers,
One young like you, one older;
The younger went searching,
For a life he couldn't live.
He came back to his father,
He said sorry but I'm done,
He said, "It's like you never left, now listen to me son".
