Lyrics

1
Somewhere along the road
toward redemption
Someone saw
a prodigal so frail.
He smelled of swine
& looked as if conviction
had interrupted
hardship & travail.
When asked “Where are you going?
Would you like to sit awhile?”
He responded “No Sir. Thank you.”
I can go another mile.

Chorus
I’m already ready
to be home with father.
He’s already laid out
new shoes & a robe.
He’s already readied
other son’s & daughters
to welcome in
a son away too long.
I’m already ready
to be in my home.

O the paradox
of living in a strange land
when you know deep down inside
it’s not your home.
There’s a gravity
that draws you toward the Heavens
while the load of living here
weighs like a stone.
There are voices in the distance
calling out my name.
For me to live is Christ
to die is truly gain!

Chorus
I’m already ready
to be home with father.
He’s already laid out
new shoes & a robe.
He’s already readied
other son’s & daughters
to welcome in
a son away to long.
I’m already ready
to be in my home.
