BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE 
(THE PRODIGAL SON'S LULLABY) 

Intro:
G C Am D

Verse: 
G         C
how can I see Your face 
G                C
and receive Your loving grace 
G              C
when I am here shamed in sin 
Am          D
hurting You deep within 

    G           C
yet everytime I run and flee 
    G               C
You take me home forgiving me 
G                C
with the skies I feel Your touch 
   Am             D
no other love can be this much 

Refrain:
        C          G
You are there as I hide 
          Am        C
with Your arms open wide 


Chorus:
           G
for You alone 
         C                                G
have the greatest love the world has ever known 
  F                           C
a love that never ceases to embrace a weary heart 
    G
and give a brand new start 
E                        C
provides light where the sun has never shown 
    G
now I can understand 
     Am            C           G
that I am here because of Your love 

(repeat verse chords)
so I take Your gentle hand 
only to sin again 
and yet You turn then stubbornly 
you take me home, forgiving me 

how can love as great as this 
even want to exist 
oh God of all that's good and true 
please believe I love You too 

(repeat refrain chords)
though I walk through desert's doors 
I will fear nothing more 

repeat chorus except last line

     Am
that I am here because... 
        C          G
you are there as I hide 
          C         G
with Your arms open wide 
         C                     G
though I walk through desert's doors 
       C            G    D
I will fear nothing more 
        E
nothing more 

repeat chorus except last line (1 octave higher)

       A
as You take me by the hand 
     Bm
that I am here 
D               A
because of Your love
