Lyrics:
I went the ways of wayward winds
In a world of trouble and sin
Walked a long and crooked mile
Behind a million rank and file
Forgot where I came from
Somewhere back when I was young
I was a good man’s child
‘Cause I lost some nameless things
My innocence flew away from me
She had to hide her face from my desire
To embrace forbidden fire
But at night I dream
She’s singing over me
Oh, oh, my child
Come on home, home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you at my table
Return to me
Wondering where I might begin
Hear a voice upon the wind
She’s singing faint but singing true
Son, there ain’t nothing you can do
But listen close and follow me
I’ll take you where you’re meant to be
Just don’t lose faith
So I put my hand upon the plow
Wipe the sweat up from my brow
Plant the good seed along the way
As I look forward to the day
When at last I see
My Father run to me
Singing oh, my child
Come on home, home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you at my table
Return to me
My child

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever created. I have, as a grown man, bawled my eyes out more than once to this masterpiece, most recently for the last 10 minutes in front of my two year old daughter in the car. I explained to her after I gained my composure that it is about how Jesus will never stop loving us, no matter what we've done. And honestly I am breaking down speaking those words in voice to text to write this comment right now. We serve a gracious King. Thank you for this work of art, brother
Its hard not to bawl when listening to this as son and as a dad in understanding how it is when a child returns home thank you Jesus and Josh second :)
The other song by Josh that gets me is Million Miles .Very recently I've found the man that God has blessed me with. We hope to get married in October unless the Rapture happens and it looks like we could be close. God has someone special for us all ! I thought my time was over because I've had a hard life addiction and being abused. I Have moments when I'll break down knowing how much I've hurt Jesus and and through it all he's carried me and loved me. I'm 50 and my significant other is 16 year my junior. No one has ever loved me truly and unconditionally before.Other than our Father . This song is spot on how our Father loves us and Million Miles The complete love that every woman should have from her husband and she should feel the same for him.Thank you Josh for sharing your beautiful gift with us and thank you God for blessing Josh with his gift and may his music bring many people to accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Yes, Jesus love is everlasting and unconditional.

Great aye brother crying in front your kids
I absolutely love how Mr. Garrels wove the Holy Spirit into the story of the Prodigal as the woman that came to the wayword son and taught him Grace. Wonderful!
I also love how after conviction by the Spirit Garrels borrows another line from Luke 9 about discipleship (putting the hand to the plow) and turns the prodigal into any disciple - but then the climax is the Father seeing and receiving the son.
I keep telling my family, this is the best Christian song written in the last 100 years! Thankyou Josh Garrels!
First love~
PRODIGAL SON, or “MAMA”.🕊
Completely baffles me how Garrels isn’t more recognized in the Christian music realm. Completely gifted! Thank you Lord!
I agree this is some of the best and original Christian music I've heard
I agree. He's my favorite!!
He isn't recognized cuz it's too serious for a contemporary christian world that is only for a cardboard cut-,out of Jesus and not the One that saturates every corner of their life. You're either all in, or you're not in at all.
I love him, and his beautiful family. Learn of him, his life where he's from and been. Josh Garrels is truly genuine.
This song is one of my favorite songs ever. It makes me ugly cry. God loves us so much.
Once I heard, this guy is a talented musician and a lyrical genius...I believe that. Praise God!
Listening 5 years on and...like a fine wine, this gets better with time.
True! I never tire of his songs!
Think about the best dinner you've ever had. The food. The friends. The fellowship. The feeling in your stomach and soul of being nourished and satisfied. And then multiply that a million times and I think we're getting close to what it will be like to sit w/ our brothers and sisters at the marriage supper of Christ. I'm looking forward to seeing my place at the table. What about you? :)
"Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." Rev. 19.9
Beautiful. See you there Drew! Any day now....
u made me literally cry. yes!
YASSS!
Me too. I've been longing for that moment.
How beautiful! Yes!
“I was good man’s child” brings me to tears every time. I was once so innocent and full of life and wonder. I want it back so badly it hurts.
I sent this to my brother when he was in a dark place and he has since passed. He is now home. Gets me very emotional. Josh is so gifted 🙏
My step mother passed away not too long ago. She loved Josh. I picked this song for the funeral. It was beautiful
i actually feel forgiven right now.
not just an idea or an empty decoration, but i can feel the father calling me
me too!
Josh garrels you my never see this comment in your life but I'm not just writing this for you, I'm writing this so other people see this and be come inspired. I always felt like I let down god but he always reminded me that I was forgiven but I didn't take it seriously. So one day I was watching a video and a song of yours came up and it was called farther along and I loved that song and your voice so I looked up your name on a music app and listened briefly to some songs and put them on a playlist if I liked them. So I was listening to all the songs I downloaded and and started listening to at the table and I broke down in tears because it reminded me that even though I might have failed in some place's god still loves me and he still is reserving a seat at the table for me. God bless you Josh Garrels!
pitts tv I’ve felt like this too you are not alone. That’s who God is he is forgiving and patient and faithful no matter how much we think we can mess up as long as we confess our sins and repent He will forgive
God is merciful! He is faithful for His name's sake! Glory to God forever!
Same
Yes he does welcome us all to his table
AMEN Brother! GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY young man 🙏💗💪
Where has this master piece been?… better late than never.
My boys slow dance with me in the kitchen to this song and I can’t thank you enough for those sweet moments.
I am a teenager struggling with sin, but my father is one of the most patient men I've ever met. He and I both quite in Josh, and this songs always reminds me of my pops. I'm a christian, but in all honesty the struggle of temptation from sin is a very difficult one, especially as a 17 year old growing man. This song holds a special place in my heart. I can't wait to see you josh when you come to Jacksonville in march! We got VIP tickets for my dad's birthday, can't wait!
I never really post comments, and this is probably a first. I want to let you know that I've been going through troubles with temptations and sins as well, the same age as you. This song really gives me hope, and it reminds me that God may be sad about the things I've done, but he will always take me back. I hope you're doing well and it was really nice to know someone is in the same boat as me. You've got this, and God is a big fan of yours, I'm sure:) Good luck on your journey, friend.
You are never alone, whether from God being there, or others in your situation.
I'm thankful that the Spirit has called you. It's encouraging to know that the younger generation is seeking the Lord, even through the temptations. I pray you keep that tender heart toward Him.
Now your 20 😲
1 John 3:8
[8]He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
I'm sure happy I'm back to my God Father Jesus Christ.Amen
This has me in tears. Come home to God. He is waiting....that's so beautiful!
This man is an anointed song writer. Great words, great music, unique voice. love it.
meeee toooo!
For us prodigal sons who desert the loving Father. Hear Him say, ''Come on home, home to Me.'' :-)
stalking a brother :-)
Amen
We are all prodigals on this earth..but Jesus left the 99 to seek and seek & save the one..afterwards the celebration commenced!🙏❤️🙏
Thx Josh for use of the gifts you’ve been blessed with..God Bless you!
Amen!!
Tears 🥺🥺
I’m a dancer and we are using this as our contemporary song this year, we are having a big table on stage and dancing on it. I almost cry about every time we listen/dance to it, it just brings me so much joy.
We love this song
I went the waves, wayward wings
In a world of trouble and sin
Walked along a crooked mile
Behind a million rank and file
Forgot where I came from
Somewhere back when I was young
I was a good man's child
I lost the nameless things
My innocence flew away from me
She had to hide her face from my desire
To embrace forbidden fire
But at night I dream
She's singing over me
Oh, oh, my child
Come on home
Home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you
At my table
Return to me
Wondering where I
might begin
Hear a voice upon the wind
She's singing faint but singing true,
"Son, there ain't nothing you can do;
But listen close and follow me;
I'll take you where you meant to be;
Just don't lose faith."
So I put my hand upon the plow
Wipe the sweat up from my brow
Plant the good seed along the way
As I look forward to the day
When at last I'll see
My father run to me saying,
"You know, my child."
Come on home
Home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you
At my table
Return to me
My child
Come on home
Home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you
At my table
At my table
At my table
Return to me
You got some of the lyrics wrong but nice try
It's "I went the ways of wayward winds
"
What a mighty and loving God we serve
Thank You Jesus ❤🙌☝
so talented bringing me to tears
This song just stops you in your tracks and cuts extra deep right into your soul.
Just out of this world.
i had the same feelings. I couldn't have said it better!
Exactly
to get deep a minute: This song, and whole album for that matter, came into my life two days before it all came crumbling down around me. I was in a very dark place and this song gave me hope. Two years(give or take) later it's still helping.
"Thank you"
Proverbs 9:1-6
Wisdom has built her house;
she has set up its seven pillars.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
“Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
“Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight.”
Wonderful comment, marrying a simple message to the truth of scripture is the basis for a touching song.
You have no idea how much this song helped me
this puts my heart back to Jesus in the humble/childlike presence it was meant to be.
I imagine Christ running to meet me, welcoming me home. Putting his arm around me, and walking us up to his house, where the family of God sits around His table. They rejoice to see me as if we've always known each other. I cannot wait for that day!
Word
I feel like this song is the cycle of my life over and over again. So wonderful.

this song always makes me sad
This song is touching me these days. God bless you, Josh! Thank you for your songs, God is really using you greatly! Greetings from Brasil! :)
Josh Garrels is a brilliant writer. His lyrics always leave me deep in thought, and his beautifully composed music makes it all the better. Keep it up, Josh!!
Incredibly beautiful
Opa! Me encontro exatamente às 01:56 da manhã, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas e a música finalizada. Refletindo e pensando na imensa misericórdia e amor que Deus possui por cada um de nós, consegui ver o quão imensurável é este amor. Vê-lo em sua totalidade é algo impossível para a nossa pequena e complexa mentalidade humana, contudo, ter um mínimo de noção sobre isso é algo que nos torna ainda mais vivos, mais cheios, mais fortes. Mesmo eu, sendo essa pessoa terrível que sou, Deus vem e me preenche com sua graça, mostrando que me aceita de volta, que eu tenho um espaço na sua mesa.
Isso é graça, meu amigo 💕
O BR FOI ALCANÇADO. GLÓRIA A DEUS.
Força meu irmão, amo-te.
Josh, I am just in tears. I have been faithfully standing and holding tight to the promises that God has spoken over my eldest son who has chosen a sinful path. I trust that God love for him is so much greater than mine and that I will see the day when he will be coming down the road towards home with a light in his eyes and a strength in his Spirit.
This is such a beautiful expression of the promise we have.
Praying for you!
barney10ist I was that son once. I was around 26 when the world's grip was broken and I came "home".
don't lose faith. God knows what he's doing! Pray with out cease. He's coming on Gods time.God bless u brother in Christ.Amen
+MrMfloor me too

A Blessed Song ! of Faith
Josh Garrels, I love what you do. Your uniquely, beautiful voice, and your beautiful worship words take me to a wonderful place. Glory be to God for your talent, and your willingness to share.
Beautiful. Straight to the heart. A treasure of a song.
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard
This song is WARM.
Many of the songs on this record are like an anthem of my life as I have walked - and strayed from - and walked again with the Lord. Especially this one...thank you.
Josh, you're simply an amazing musical artist. Thank you for sharing those God given talents with us!! This song is my favorite, musically and lyrically.
This song is so beautiful, and resonates with my heart. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the world, Blessings Abundant!

Beautiful. Home.
I am so obsessed with this song!
I pray this for my prodigal brother; that he will return home to where he knows the God who loves him so very much.
Favorite on the album for sure!

DEAR JESUS and all followers..please pray my son JOSHUA can be healed of heroin addiction
Lulu Del I'm praying for your son...dont give up keep bringing him before the throne of God. Jesus saved my son and He will do the same for your precious boy.
When I listen to this song. It reminded me of God's Love, our Heavenly Father. It's such a sweet song. :)
Told my daughter on the phone who have not seen for 2 years that there always be a place at my table for you and she answered thank you hope to see you soon smelly x
No matter what you do, if you come back, He will always run to you.
One of my favorite songs!
I love the combo of good lyrics written with vulnerabily and a good perspective, plus the music and the voice that make it so easy to listen over and over again. This song makes me feel peace, hope and loved. Thanks for such a beautiful reminder, Josh.
Love love love this ♥️🙌🏽☺️
"I lost some nameless things."
I have found the one that my heart loves ✝️ ❤️ Song of Solomon 3:4
Seeing him preform live tonight! Wildly excited!
I heard this song on Spotify and I fell in love! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!
I love Josh's new album - beautifully crafted songs with great lyrics and melodies. This is one of the best songs, but they're all great!
Awesome song🎉❤
Beautiful song. Words, melody, harmony everything! God bless you Josh, and thanks for sharing your talent and gifts to us all.
Wow...your songs are so deep
This makes me so happy to know i have a seat at the table
Lord God please send TRUE revival to our lands in Jesus name!
Love, love, love this song. And love how it was used in "ASK" - a documentary about love, addiction, and codependency.
It's just beautiful
So good brother to be at the table with you and so many others !
God bless you brother !!!! Beautiful song !!!!!
Sir, this is BEAUTIFUL.
Gratitude,
Teresa
I have no doubt that even though i may not hear the voice of God, this man does. Thank you for this music.
God's voice is also that strong feeling you can't resist that is as Heavenly as can be. That deep down thought that hits you out of nowhere and you can't resist but to do that Heavenly thing. Whether it's telling someone you love them or smiling at someone or going up to strike a conversation with someone suddenly. That's God's voice telling you to do that.
Glory to the Lord! What a Praise! Thank u
Beautiful words . Your songs and their words are becoming an important part of my quiet time . Thankyou Josh. K
this guy needs to be world famous RIGHT NOW
It's a christian indie song, I love it.
As always - your music gets right to the heart of it all - and does it SO beautifully! You are such an inspiration to me in this industry! Thanks for the original sound you bring!
Top three for me. For sure.
why do I love this song so much?😭😭
Duuuuuuuuuuude god gave you a gift my man!
Good work brother. You have inspired me my friend. As you draw closer to God keep writing about it. Love your heart. Thank you for the song. One musician to another .. God gave you this song sir. Believe that! Thanks for carrying this message. It has brought my dad and I to a good place of understanding each other. It has also helped me to understand our Lords love for us. I'll catch up with you Heaven and we will sing a song together Lord willing. Keep making music and never get discouraged about your gift to sing and more so your calling to sing for God! You have his heart in your music and we relate! Thanks for being transparent. Its rare! Find that place of transparency and bring us another song. Lord willing!. I don't fully know the battles you had to face to bring us this truth, but fight discouragement and continue with the passion you started with . Musicians tend to believe that they have one, maybe two heart songs, but I want you to break through that ... if you are singing from God's Spirit your music is endless. Don't quit. Bring us another song. Bring us a song that is from the Lord and those life experiences that God has has given you. You probably don't read these comments from us simple folks. LOL But I do hope that you will read the hope that you have give each one of us that left comment on this page. You are the good seed along the way.. Keep up the good work!
❤Woww.... God Bless You more and more with the talent He gave you
Sngewtynnat palat phi mo kine jait jingrwai te.😊
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC.
Beautiful song
Fantastic song!
Interesting juxtaposition (or integration depending on your perspective) of hospitality and charity on the one hand and the Prodigal Son. Home will indeed be an amazing place in which we will delight in the Lord and our fellow Kingdom virtued community. A great story of redemption and reconcilliation. My appreciation of Josh Garrels continues to grow over time.
Such an Amazing Voice and the Talent is far beyond worldly. GOD BLESS YOU THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS.
I am finding my voice again after tragedy and heart wreck
Beautiful song! ❤🇧🇷
:D YAY IM HAPPY GOD BLESS U GOD HAS MY HEART NOW THANK U

Absolute banger.
Forgiveness. ..alright. ..means so much.
Great song. Truly!
Never heard of you ... heard Revelator. Had to look you up. Glad I did. :)
God Bless You. Love this song too.
🥰🥰🥰😊😁
