prodigal daughter

Listening to: Don't You Feel Like Crying by Solomon Burke
Lyric Obsession: "I wanna know a person like You who's not afraid to love the wicked and the poor. I wanna know a person like you who's not afraid to touch the crooked and the whore...You're not afraid of me."


A picture the wonderfully amazing Lisa took this during one of our many photoshoots.

I’m no longer worthy
To be called Your daughter
I’ve sinned against heaven
And against You, O Father

What a wretch I am
What a mess I’ve become
I’ve broken Your heart
I’ve scorned Your Son

I’m hungry and thirsty
Head-strong and heart-weak
To think You would take me back
…I just can’t even believe

But there You are on the horizon
Your arms stretched out real far
You’re running to meet me halfway
You’re running real hard

You call me worthy
I’m still Your child
You love me with a love
That’s crazy and wild

You restored my soul
Gave me Your coat and ring
You put in my mouth
A brand new song to sing

I’m The Prodigal Daughter, don’t deserve such a loving Father
I’m weak, I can’t even believe
Your arms open real far, You run real hard
I’m weak, but Your love…it makes me believe

  2. I'm so glad! I love how God does that...how He puts something on somebody's heart that they can't hold back when He knows someone who needs it. <3
