Hank Williams - The Prodigal Son Lyrics






A Prodigal son once strayed from his father
To travel a land of hunger and pain
And now I can see the end of my journey
I'm going to heaven again.

I leave you the day, to help all your neighbors
I leave you the night, to solemnly pray
So try to repent and ask for forgiveness
We'll meet up in heaven, someday.

Goodbye to this world, with all its sorrows
Goodbye to the fields, that I used to roam
I'm going away where, life is eternal
My Shepherd is callin me home.

From out of the sky, He's coming to meet me
To wash all my sins and call me His own
His servants will bring, a ring for my finger
And never no more will I roam.

    Love Hank Williams, all his songs are heartfelt and sincere, humorous at times. I’m 25 years old and have been listening since 17. As a matter of fact I was 17 when I received pardon and mercy in Christ, and something about listening to Hank sing gospel encouraged and uplifted me in my walk. Still does to this day, great gems!

    I leave you the day, to help all your neighbors.
    I leave you the night to solemnly pray.
    So try to repent, and ask for forgiveness.
    We'll meet up in Heaven someday.
