The God Of The Other Side: Finally (Prodigal Son) [feat. Jimmie Allen, Claude Kelly & BeBe Winans]

ONE DAY JESUS TOLD A STORY FROM THE SYNAGOGUE IN CAPERNAUM. ABOUT A MAN AND HIS TWO SONS. THE YOUNGER SON SAID TO HIS FATHER ONE DAY, “FATHER, GIVE ME MY INHERITANCE FOR I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE MY WAY.”

 THE FATHER GAVE HIM HIS INHERITANCE AND THE BOY MOVED ON TO THE FARAWAY PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE HE SQUANDERED EVERYTHING. UNTIL HE REALIZED ONE DAY THAT EVEN HIS FATHER’S WORKERS LIVED BETTER THAN HE DID. AND HE STARTED HOME. BECAUSE HE HAD SINNED AGAINST HEAVEN AND SINNED AGAINST HIS FATHER AND HE WAS UNWORTHY TO BE CALLED HIS SON.

ALL THE MISTAKES THAT I’VE MADE

ALL OF THE PIPERS I’VE PAID

TRYING TO KEEP ALL MY FEELINGS DOWN DEEP

WHILE I STRUGGLED TO FIND MY WAY

DAY AFTER DAY I’D SEE THE OTHER SIDE CALLING TO ME

AND IF I AM HONEST A WORLD FULL OF PROMISE

WHERE I COULD FINALLY BE FREE

NOW THE PLANETS HAVE SHIFTED

THE CLOUDS HAVE ALL LIFTED

THE DARKNESS HAS FADED AWAY

I’M READY TO SING, I’M READY TO SOAR,

I’M READY TO FIND WHAT I WAS BORN FOR

I’M READY TO FACE THE MAN I WANT TO BE

EMBRACE MY VERY OWN DESTINY

FINALLY, I’M READY TO LOVE

FINALLY

WHAT IS THIS VISION I SEE?

THIS BROKEN BOY WALKING TOWARD ME

THE SON THAT I CHERISHED AND FEARED HE HAD PERISHED

OH, GOD, COULD THIS REALLY BE?

OH HOW I PRAYED FOR THIS DAY

TO SEE HIM WALKING THIS WAY

COMING BACK TO THE LAND OF THE PROMISE

AND THE FATHER WHO LOVES US ANYWAY

HE’S READY TO SING, HE’S READY TO SOAR

HE’S READY TO FIND WHAT HE WAS BORN FOR

HE’S READY TO FACE THE MAN HE’S GONNA BE

EMBRACE HIS VERY OWN DESTINY

FINALLY, HE’S READY TO LOVE, FINALLY

OH, THE FATHER RAN TOWARDS HIS SON AND CLUNG TO HIM AND KISSED HIM AND CALLED FOR THE FATTED CALF TO BE PREPARED FOR A GREAT FEAST. AND THEN HE WRAPPED HIS SON IN A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PUT A RING ON HIS FINGER. AND THEY WENT BACK TO HIS HOUSE TO CELEBRATE.

WHAT IS THIS MUSIC I HEAR?

THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT I FEARED

THE SOUND OF A SON AND A FATHER EMBRACING

ERASING ALL MY YEARNING YEARS

FATHER, WHAT ABOUT ME?

I’VE BEEN SERVING YOU FAITHFULLY

I’VE BEEN WAITING TO SING

I’VE BEEN WAITING TO SOAR

I’VE BEEN WAITING TO FIND WHAT I WAS BORN FOR

BEEN WAITING TO FACE THE MAN I WANT TO BE

EMBRACE MY VERY OWN DESTINY

BUT NOW WHAT IS MY DESTINY?

MY SON, MY SON

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND

YOU DON’T HAVE A FATHER’S HEART

YOU’RE BARELY A MAN

YOUR BROTHER WAS IN DANGER

BUT NOW HE’S SAFE AND SOUND

YOUR BROTHER WAS LOST

BUT NOW YOUR BROTHER IS FOUND

AND HE’S READY TO SING, HE’S READY TO SOAR

HE’S GONNA FIND WHAT HE WAS BORN FOR

HE’S GONNA FACE THE MAN HE’S GONNA BE

EMBRACE HIS VERY OWN DESTINY

WITH YOU AND ME

CAUSE WE’RE A FAMILY

SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM, SHALOM

HE’S HOME.
