Prodigal Chronicles: Failure
Failure
by Joel Howard
From the Prodigal Chronicles series
Identity conferred
Not ever earned
All else is failure
Not less than failure
I left all I had
My family, my Dad
And what have I left?
Not ever earned
All else is failure
Not less than failure
I left all I had
My family, my Dad
And what have I left?
Failure, failure...
Come home to see
He was waiting for me
Though all changed for me
Here in my mind
Not one ounce of Father's love
Had declined
Dad sprinted, He did
He fumbled, He did
He stumbled, but not
A doubt did He emit
When He told me I'm loved
Come home to see
He was waiting for me
Though all changed for me
Here in my mind
Not one ounce of Father's love
Had declined
Dad sprinted, He did
He fumbled, He did
He stumbled, but not
A doubt did He emit
When He told me I'm loved
I belong, still His son
My greatest failure
Began when I doubted
Began when I doubted
My Father's love
Can never be routed
Though I should climb down to hell and again
My Jesus saved me, His love it did win!
Can never be routed
Though I should climb down to hell and again
My Jesus saved me, His love it did win!
Doubt has been my greatest failure
Birthed all of my sins
Shame has a father -
Satan's lair it lives in
My greatest failure begins
When I quit
Quit loving God
And choose to love sin
Birthed all of my sins
Shame has a father -
Satan's lair it lives in
My greatest failure begins
When I quit
Quit loving God
And choose to love sin
