Beautiful! Never heard this version. I learned it in 1970 off the 1969 “Upon this Rock” album.Always thought it was about the Rapture, but watching some new video footage from Kabul, thinking of an Afghan man and wife who’d collaborated with the U.S. and have SIV Visas trying to get to the Airport. It ends with the wife, the one the Taliban didn’t arrest, watching the last C-17 take off into the sunrise. She’s been left behind.
Very first time I heard this, my youth pastor played the guitar and sang it for us on a ski trip. I’d never been so moved before in my life. I cried like a baby the day Larry Norman passed away. Now he’s with Jesus.
Oh I am so glad to be ready now more than ever I’ve been waiting since 88 oh lord I’m so excited come lord Jesus I can’t wait to see you all at the big Wedding Feast. Blessing to all from Ireland
Wow what a powerful message and so sad and true! Written so many years ago and we are now truly living it each day in 2021! There’s still time Prodigals to come back or go back to the Father’s house ! He’s waiting and we are waiting! Let this be the year of the Prodigal! ❤️❤️
