THE TWO LOST SONS (LUKE 15)
Words and music by Caroline Cobb (ASCAP). Copyright 2017 Sing the Story Music. 
CCLI # 7097306. Key: E. Tempo: 150.

Luke 15:11-32. Based on Tim Keller’s Prodigal God.

Verse 1:
I have been the younger son
Chase my pleasure, chase my fun
Build castles in the sand
My own Promise Land

When my kingdoms crumble down
The famine comes, I bottom out
Well I can hear your voice Call for your little boy

Pre-Chorus 1:
But you were more of a means than a Father
You were drownin’ my dreams underwater

Chorus:
My child, my child I’ll run out to meet you
Come into my house What’s lost can be found
My child, my child come into the party
All I have is yours Don’t stand outside my door
All I have is yours

Verse 2:
I have been the elder son
Slavin’ til the work is done
Just tryin’ to earn my keep
Nothing comes for free

Bitterness was in my blood
From all this tryin’ to be enough
But you love that wayward son
Oh but look at what I’ve done

Pre-Chorus 2:
You were more of a means than a Father
I acted like an employee,
Not a son, not a daughter

Chorus

Bridge:
Don’t let your pride get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
Don’t let your guilt get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
All of those rules that you keep or you break
You don’t need to earn my love
There is a Son that has already paid
You don’t need to earn it
You don’t need to deserve it
Come home, come home!

Chorus

Outro:
Come into my joy!
All I have is yours
