| The Prodigal Son he’d been away awhile
|
| He was working his way back home again over many a ragged mile
|
| When he finally crossed the river
|
| And his Father saw him near
|
| There was a joyful sound
|
| For all the world to hear
|
| Chorus:
|
| I listened to what the Good Book said
|
| And it made good sense to me
|
| Talkin' 'bout reapin what you’re sowing
|
| And people trying to be free
|
| Now we got new names and faces this time around
|
| Gospel changes, Lord still goin' down
|
| Jesus he did not doubt his gift
|
| Though he knew that he had not long to live
|
| He took care of the business of teachin' us how to fly
|
| Then he bowed his head, and lay down to die
|
| Chorus
|
| Jerusalem I see you standin' high
|
| But if you lose your salvation, they’re be no tears left to cry
|
| Now some men worship a golden calf
|
| While others are bought and sold
|
| And if we live like that, brother we pay the toll
|
| Chorus |
