Still Calls Me Son Lyrics

Luke 15:11-32 - John Waller and Scott Johnson

"I always say, 'You either were a prodigal, are a prodigal, or about to become one.' Producer Mark Miller called me and challenged me to write a song on the story of the prodigal son. I don't usually write songs "on demand," but I woke up the next morning with a Chorus in my head. "After all I've done, could he run to me; and would he kiss my face; could he even look at me. After where I've been, should he take me back, I would understand, I've disgraced him." I called my co-writer of 14 years, Scott Johnson, and we finished the song fairly quickly. After all, we were once prodigals."

I drug His name through Godless places
And I've known shame that no child of His should know
I've seen pain on broken faces
Beyond all thought of hope
I was just too far from home
Still I always wondered when I closed my eyes

After all I've done
Could He run to me?
Would He kiss my face?
Could He even look at me?
After where I've been
Should He take me back?
For I would understand
I've disgraced Him
But it would be amazing
If He still calls me son

With nothing left for me to bring Him
I left my pride and turned my heart toward home
I saw my home on the horizon
And from a distance
I saw my Father
Watching for His own with forgiving eyes

After all I'd done
He just ran to me
Then he kissed my face
He would not let go of me
After where I'd been
He just welcomed me
I don't understand
How he put his robe on me
It was so amazing
That he still calls me son

One day as I breathe my last
And I know my days on Earth have ended
When every hour is spent
I will close my eyes in amazement
And I'll hear angels
They'll be singing
Amazing grace

For He will run to me
And He will kiss my face
He will not let go of me
After where I've been
He will welcome me
And I won't understand
How He'll put His robe on me
It will be amazing
That He still call me son

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
When He calls me son
I once was lost but now I'm found
'Cause He calls me, He calls me son

It's just so amazing
