A great song, by an amazing guy
I was listening to one of my friend Raj's CD's as I was finishing up work today. I wanted to share these lyrics with you:

another prodigal

I was an orphan and maybe it wasn't that bad
I wouldn't listen for nothin'
I up and ran off with everything that I had, and everything I had coming

And everything that He said,
well it's all coming back now

And the world, well, it tasted the best that it could
with all the money and laughter
And well, it all felt the way that I thought that it should
except the emptiness after

And everything that He said
it's all making sense now
everything that He had
that I left behind
when I ran

If you're out on your own, then you're dead
Your home is with me, and He said
If your out all alone, then you're dead
life is in Me, I'm your Father and friend

You can imagine these words spinning round in my head
as I'm turning homeward
Empty pockets and emptiness in my head
will the Father forgive me

And everything that He said
well it's all making sense now
everything that He had
that I left behind
when I ran

If you're out on your own, then you're dead
Your home is with me, and He said
If your out all alone, then you're dead
life is in Me, I'm your Father and friend

Everything that he said...

Raj and his wife Scout are away on a mission right now, in Central Asia. They're coming home soon, and I really miss them. I'm glad I have Raj's amazing music to remind me of them, and remind me of God, while they're gone.

I'll see if I can figure out how to post the song itself later.
