The Prodigal
Lord who seeks the straying down the years, across the miles, Make of me a miracle for someone’s wandering child.
Lord who seeks the straying down the years, across the miles, Make of me a miracle for someone’s wandering child.
He lives! He lives, no more to die, and by his power all men shall rise; Death is overcome in Christ, the Resurrection and the Life.
Look high above the weary world — for eyes to see that will, the star of Bethlehem will shine for those who seek Him still.
The evocative words to this hymn painted a mental picture for me as a child, and the hymn is still as compelling to me as an adult.
He speaks to me in quiet ways that fill my soul with peace; And if listen with my heart, I hear the Savior’s voice.
I can give a greater gift than any earthly gem; For all my heart and all my love will be my gift to Him.
