In the Distance (based on Prodigal Son)

You were watching all the time

I was wasting my life

Spending money

Searching for fame

Pushing away those who dared to show me love

Taking everything I could, but not the blame

Though you gave your life for me

I was blind and could not see

Everything you did

You did for me

Dying on that cross you took upon you all the cost

Of my arrogance, indifference and greed

For you saw me in the distance

When I was lost and all alone

Crying out in pain

For someone to share the load

Yes you saw me in the distance

A light shining from above

Leading me, believing, I was worthy of your love

Now I give my life to you

To do with as you choose

Everything I have

Are gifts from you

Cleansing me from sin, I am free to live again

Rejecting all I had before, accepting truth.

For you saw me in the distance

When I was lost and all alone

Crying out in pain

For someone to share the load

Yes you saw me in the distance

A light shining from above

Leading me, believing, I was worthy of your love
