Album: Bible Stories
Brothers by blood and brothers by faith
But as different as two men can be
Bound by a father, separated by faith
And differences wide as the sea
One makes a sacrifice pleasing to God
The other just gives what he can
If you tell me which one is the Prodigal Son
I'll tell you which one that I am
I'll tell you which one that I am
I squandered the fortune that I took from my dad
Now I'm headed for home as a pauper
But my father greets me with a hug and a kiss
He is running, the air fills with laughter
I say "I've sinned against heaven and sinned against you
I'm not worthy to be called your son
But I'm tired and I'm hungry, I'm starving to death
Please forgive me for what I have done."
He brought me some sandals, a ring and a robe
Gave a feast and invited a crowd
Said "My son who was dead is alive again
He was lost, but now he is found."
I come home for work to music and dancing
And a feast for an ungrateful brother
Well I know where he's been and I will not go in
Even at the request of my Father
I say, "I've slaved and I've toiled
And I've done what I'm told
But it doesn't pay off in the end
For my no account brother you kill the fat calf
But you won't spare a goat for me and my friends."
He said, "All that I have has always been yours
You are always with me and around
But my son who was dead is alive again
He was lost but now he is found."
One is alive, happy and free
Secure in the love of his Father
The other is empty, lonely and sad
And longs for the life of his brother
One makes a sacrifice pleasing to God
The other just gives what he can
If you tell me which one is the Prodigal Son
I'll tell you which one that I am
I'll tell you which one that I am
