Lyrics
There was a man, with two sons
He divided his wealth for the younger one
That son ran far away
And squandered it all in a reckless way
And about the time his money ran out
A famine swept over the land
Broken and hungry he thought to himself
My father will make me a hired hand, and he went
He went running, back into His arms
He went running, back into His arms
Full circle back into His arms
Well the world can be cruel
Especially when you live like the fool
Like the young prodigal son
I traded God?s love for the illusion of fun
And when the parties were over
And the crowds all disappeared
I was left picking up the pieces
Behind me a trail of tears?I went
I went running, back into His arms
I went running, back into His arms
Full circle
I went running, back into His arms
All the way home
Running back into His arms
Full circle back into His arms
Where there is living love for healing
Where I find grace that keeps me kneeling
Wondering what might have been; if I never went ?
Running, back into His arms
I went running, back into His arms
Full circle
I went running, back into His arms
All the way home
Running back into His arms
Full circle back into His arms
Back into His arms
