[Intro]
G C
[Verse 1]
GYou were once away like a wayward stray
CYou were first but came in last
GYou were born to run like the prodigal son
CBut you went so far so fast
EmThe abandoned chDild left all alone
CYou don’t have to maFke it on your own
CKing Jesus has coDme to take you homeG  
[Verse 2]
GYou were once abandoned
CA distant land was once your residence
GThen God sent His son for the wayward one
CThat you might just be a friend
EmWith a love this woDrld has never known
CWith a power that roFlled away the stone
CKing Jesus has coDme to take you homeG
