The Child's Response to the Prodigal Father

The next verse is a response to the Father's plea for the child to come Home.  The child has a hard time accepting the Father's unconditional love and questions the Father's heart, just like we all do so many times, but finally chooses to trust.

I DON'T KNOW

Lord, are you real?  God, do you care?
Don't you see me struggling all alone?
Can I trust you?  Do you really care?
I don't know.  I don't know!

Life is full of messages - too many to count.
They all sound good, they could be true.
Do I believe them?  Do I trust you?
What should I do?  I don't know!

I've tried so many things - some good, some bad.
None of them change me.  None of them save me.
I still feel hopeless, lost, alone.
Are you the answer?  Dare I hope?

I don't know, Lord, but I'm choosing to hope.
I'm going to trust.  I will believe!
I choose your way.  I choose your truth.
I give my life to you.

Now I know!  I know it's true!
I feel it deep inside of me.  I feel light.
I feel free!  What just happened?
I know now, Lord.  You are real!
