Because of your love
(The prodigal son's lullaby)
How can I see Your face
And receive your loving grace
When I am here shamed in sin
Hurting you deep within
Yet every time I run and flee
You take me home forgiving me
With the skies I feel Your touch
No other love can be this much
You are there as I hide
With your arms open wide
For you alone
Have the greatest love the world has ever known
A love that never ceases to embrace a weary heart
And give a brand new start
Provides light where the Sun has never shown
Now I can understand
That I am here because of your love
So I take your gentle hand
Only to sin again
And yet you turn then stubbornly
You take me home, forgiving me
How can love as great as this
Even want to exist
Oh God of all that's good and true
Please believe I love You too
Though I walk through desert's doors
I will fear nothing more
For you alone
Have the greatest love the world has ever known
A love that never ceases to embrace a weary heart
And give a brand new start
Provides light where the Sun has never shown
Now I can understand
That I am here because of your love
That I am here because
You are there as I hide
With your arms open wide
Though I walk through desert's doors
I will fear nothing more
Nothing more
For you alone
Have the greatest love the world has ever known
A love that never ceases to embrace a weary heart
And give a brand new start
Provides light where the Sun has never shown
Now I can understand
That I am here because of your love
As You take me by the hand
That I am here
Because of Your love
