Here are the Lyrics to a song by "Casting Crowns".
This just spoke to me so much as I was listening to it tonight.
It speaks so beautifully to all the times in my life that I have been the Prodigal, that I am the Prodigal, and how my Father always welcomes me back with open, loving arms.
He is so, so, so GOOD!!

CASTING CROWNS LYRICS
"Prodigal"
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
And I've held out as long as I can
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand
(Chorus)
Daddy, here I am again
Will You take me back tonight
I went and made the world my friend
And it left me high and dry
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in
Not worthy to be called Your son
Is this to be my end
Daddy, here I am
Here I am again
Curse this morning sun
Drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I've sown
Of living with my shame
Welcome to my world
And the life that I have made
Where one day you're a prince
The next day you're a slave
(Repeat Chorus)
I love the line about letting go and holding out my hand!
We are so Blest to have the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where we can hold out our hands and our Daddy takes them and welcomes us back!
