My heart is so forgetful
Of love so kind and gentle
So I call
My helper deep within
Where no one's ever been
Betrayed your love for silver
Squandered wealth for pleasure
Still you're here
My helper deep within
Where no one's ever been
And I have seen it in the way you've never left me
Where can I go? You know
I'm the prodigal returning home
The wreckage of my crippled heart
Does not surprise you
You won't let go, I know
Even night is bright as day with you
A beckoning to come home
Familiar voice that I've known
I will hear
My helper deep within
Where no one's ever been
And I have seen it in the way you've never left me
Where can I go? You know
I'm the prodigal returning home
The wreckage of my crippled heart
Does not surprise you
You won't let go, I know
Even night is bright as day with you
There I recognize, every morning
At the break of dawn
Mercy's song
Shatters the dark
My bankrupt ways and mistakes
Cleansed and forgotten
By you, my helper deep within
Where no one's ever been
And I have seen it in the way you've never left me
Where can I go? You know
I'm the prodigal returning home
