(3/4 measure) [Intro] | D | [Verse 1]
D                   G                D
A prodigal son once strayed from his father

                               A7
To travel a land of hunger and pain

    D                 G         D
And now I can see the end of my journey

             A7      D
I'm going to Heaven again
[Verse 2]
D                      G             D
I leave you the day to help all your neighbors

                         E        A     A7
I leave you the night to solemnly pray

   D                 G          D
So try to repent and ask for forgiveness

                 A7          D
We'll meet up in Heaven, someday
[Verse 3]
                            G          D
Goodbye to this world, with all of its sorrows

                                     A7
Goodbye to the fields that I used to roam

        D                G        D
For I'm goin' away where life is eternal

               A7         D
My Shepherd is callin' me home
[Verse 4]
                          G         D
From out of the sky, He's comin' to meet me

                                    A7
To wash all my sins and call me His own

    D                     G           D
His servants will bring a ring for my finger

             A7          D
And never no more will I roam
[Verse 5]
                       G          D
And now I must go back home to my Maker

                                        A    A7
Where kindness and love will make us as one

   D                   G           D
So try to be strong if you're ever tempted

                  A           D
Just remember the prodigal son
