Are you lost, my runaway? / All is spent, squandered away / You’ve had your taste; you’ve had your fill / It’s not enough; you’re wanting still / He said, My son, if you come home / I’ll wrap you in My finest robes / And we will dance until the dawn / No greater love; you are My son // My God, my God / What mercy You have shown to me / My God, my God / Forever I will sing to Thee // Do you feel broke beyond repair? / The crushing weight is too much to bear / And with no hope for innocence / Who will stand in your defense? // But One has come, to claim His own / To fight for you, oh, weary soul / The world you fear, a threat no more / For Earth will hear the victor’s roar // This song will rise, from shore to shore / We are free; we’re bound no more / And we will dance, and all will know / For it’s the coming of my Lord // This song will rise, from shore to shore / We are free, where bound no more

Behind the Song:
“My God” is a modern day hymn. It starts off with the story of the Prodigal Son returning home to the embrace of a loving father. The chorus is a shout of praise to God for His mercy He freely gives to us even if we don’t deserve it in man’s eyes. The last verse is about the epic return of a conquering Lord, and how that day will be a day of celebration and darkness will be defeated once and for all.” – Sam Hancock (Luminate)
