	I decided long ago to challenge myself with being blindly honest to myself about who I am in regard to deep feelings and issues. As I do this, I reach a point of truth inside. I know I can trust this place which is a place of sweet surrender and assuredness. My mind, body and emotions align with my spiritual nature. Inevitably, there comes this push to express from that place through writing a song or album such as Prodigal Daughter.

	Story Behind the Song Motivation for song? I had just returned from a Joyce Meyer Conference, she has a very large Christian ministry. I felt very grateful for all the grace which surrounded the difficult journey called life. What do lyrics mean? I am feeling tired but yet renewed and thankful to be taken back into the fold of Christianity and with my faith still strong. Where was song written? At my home in Mars Hill, N.C. How long to record? It took about 2 hours on my own 4 track for vocals and guitar and then overdubs such as bass were added later and took 2 takes tops. Lyrics Prodigal Daughter Here I am, I am your Prodigal Daughter I have struggled in the deeper waters And now I come back to say I'm a follower If you will have me back, if you will take me back I am not without a scratch Here I am, I am your Prodigal Daughter I have more than visited unlovely places I have bowed down to unholy faces Will you have me back, will you take me back I am not without a scratch You say Jesus is the king of second chances I will follow him Here I am, here I am, here I am....... Oh, waters can be fished out But manna can't spoil I receive my fill And give it back to the Lord Here I am, here I am...... You've got a place right here with us So follow Gods will and sing out, sing out With God all things are possible Here I am, here I am....... I'm your Prodigal Daughter
