Prodigal Son
Forgive me Father for all my sins.
I’m knocking on the pearly gates trying to get in.
Earth didn’t know my worth so I came home.
Hoping I’m not here standing alone.
Waiting for my Heavenly Father to let me in and forgive all of my sins.
I’ve broken my addiction that has caused me so much affliction.
Coming to repent for all I’ve done.
Hoping you’ll accept your prodigal son.
I’m willing to face judgement for all I’ve done. I pray that I’m not shunned.
Thank you Father for letting me in
I’ve repented and regret my life of sin.
