V1
He took his share and wandered far
Chasing dreams and shiny stars
Spent all that he had / so recklessly
And when his world came crashing down
He was more lost than he was found
But heaven heard / this rebel’s plea
Pre-C
He made a turn and headed home
And heard these words deep in his soul
C
Down the dusty road, Mercy waits
With open arms of love and unending grace
Forgiving the past and every mistake
Down the dusty road, Mercy waits
V2
Two paths lie in front of you
You must decide which one to choose
The one that leads to Calv-a-ry cries out
Kneel at the Cross and be set free
Leave all those chains down at His feet
‘Cause that’s what grace / is all about
Pre-C
This holy hill shouts this truth
There’s one old tree that makes you new
….’Cause….
Bridge:
Start walking toward the Father
Find forgiveness in the dust
He will meet you there and lead you home
Where you are loved.
