Song Background

Can you hear the cry of the prodigals?  If you close your eyes and listen carefully, you can hear their souls crying in the wind… Oh God, please hear our cries to save them!  Reconcile the lost, heal their broken lives!  Yahweh, we pray for You to hear… the prodigal’s cry.

Scripture tells the story, we were all once lost.  But all can be saved!  

“... And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.  But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved..."

Ephesians 2:1-5 (ESV)

 

 

 

 

The Prodigal Cry - Lyrics

Like slaves, taken away

Someone must pay

There’s no way out, there’s no way home…

Left in pain

Their tears fall in vain

No one cares for their souls…

 

Oh God!  Please hear! Our cries to save them!

All the lost will be reconciled, broken lives will be saved!

Yahweh!  We pray, for You to hear… the prodigal’s cry

Oh restore them in your eyes!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! Let the healing begin!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! it calls on the wind…

The prodigal’s cry…

 

Angels believe

Because they’ve all seen…

What was lost can now be found!

Payment was made…

Your cross paved a way…

The prodigals now can be crowned!

 

Oh God!  Please hear! Our cries to save them!

All the lost will be reconciled, broken lives will be saved!

Yahweh!  We pray, for You to hear… the prodigal’s cry

Oh restore them in your eyes!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! Let the healing begin!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! it calls on the wind…

The prodigal’s cry…

 

Don’t they see the lie?  There’s no way to hide!

It’s the prodigal’s cry… It’s time, it is time… to decide!

 

Oh God!  Please hear! Our cries to save them!

All the lost will be reconciled, broken lives will be saved!

Yahweh!  We pray, for You to hear… the prodigal’s cry

Oh restore them in your eyes!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! Let the healing begin!

The prodigal’s cry… Oh! it calls on the wind…

The prodigal’s cry…
