Always Have, Always Will

Part of me is the prodigal
Part of me is the other brother
But I think the heart of me Is really somewhere between them
Some days I’m running wild
Some days we’re reconciled
But I wonder all the while
Why you put up with me when
I wrestle most days
To find ways to do as I please
I always have
I always will
You saved me once
You save me still
My longing heart
Your love alone can fill
You always have
You always will
I was born with
A wayward heart
Still I live with a restless spirit
My soul is so well worn
You’d think
I’d have arrived by now
I’m caught in the trappings of My search for a lasting love
I’ve made mistakes enough
To last me a lifetime
I still slip
I still fall
But I’ll always
Run back to you
I always have
I always will
You saved me once
You save me still
My longing heart
Your love alone can fill
You always have
You always will
I’m gonna keep trusting you
I see what you’ve seen me through
I’m going where you have gone
I’m letting you lead me on All my days
