Story Behind The Song
Any Christian can identity with the Biblical story of the Prodigal Son, who like most of us, strayed away from the Lord, but realized the error of his ways and returned to his Father, where forgiveness was granted.

Lyrics
LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON
Words and Music by Mark S. Crocker
VS 1 Years I walked the desert, thirsty, hot, and dry.
Serving worldly pleasures, seldom asking why.
Now I know You Jesus. Now I've been set free.
How I wish that I had lived the life You planned for me.
CH Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home for living water.
Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home to my Father.
VS 2 My Father stood to hug me. "Welcome home," He said.
In awe I kneeled before Him and humbly bowed my head.
"Lord, would You forgive me?" I cried aloud to Him.
Then He raised me up and said "I put away your sin."
CH Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home for living water.
Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home to my Father.
BR He placed on me a robe of eternal salvation.
New shoes to wear for my feet
He said "My son's returned. Let's have a celebration.
Prepare the calf for us to eat. Oh...
My son is home. I'm now complete!
CH Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home for living water.
Like the Prodigal Son, I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home to my Father.
TAG I'm comin' home. I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home to my Father.
I'm comin' home. I'm comin' home.
I'm comin' home to my Father.
To my Father.
