Prodigal son

I am reminded time and time again that I don't just relate to the prodigal son story because I ONCE was that son but because I find myself constantly playing that role. Thank goodness I serve a God who heals my heart, soul, and mind .....every time I ask. Praise him for His faithfulness even when I fail at being faithful. Occasionally I hear songs on the radio that just really impact me in some ways. I heard this song and really felt that this is what’s been on my heart recently. I just pray that the Lord would transform me and turn me into the woman I am supposed to be…

Rush Of Fools - Undo Lyrics
I’ve been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You’ll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I’ve been known to be
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become
I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I’ve been known to be
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become
Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become

Thanks for posting the lyrics to "Undo" by Rush of Fools in your blog. I just linked to your blog from my blog, because those lyrics (and what you wrote about being a prodigal on multiple occassions) fit so well with what I was trying to say. Hope you don't mind...
