David Leonard's song 'You Find Me' is a reflective piece about human frailty and God's relentless grace. The lyrics use imagery of a prodigal, runaway, criminal, and hypocrite to describe the singer's tendency to stray and fail. Yet the chorus emphasizes that despite wandering far, God finds and brings him home. The song moves from confession to identity, declaring that he is a child of God, loved and unashamed. It echoes the biblical parable of the prodigal son, highlighting themes of repentance, forgiveness, and the assurance of being welcomed back by a loving Father.

[Verse 1]

I am a prodigal

I can make it on my own

I am a runaway

I would rather be alone

And it only takes a moment

Before the thrill is gone away

'Cause I am a wanderer

Yes, I am a wanderer

[Verse 2]

I am a criminal

Claiming treasures not my own

I am a hypocrite

Things I've said are seldom done

And it only takes a moment

Before the thrill is gone away

'Cause I am a wanderer

Yes, I am a wanderer

[Chorus]

Though I wander far from You

You find me and bring me home

Though I wander far from You

You find me and bring me home

[Verse 3]

'Cause I am a child of God

I am loved and unashamed

Yes, I am a child of God

And forever I'll proclaim

That it only takes a moment

To wash it all away, yeah

[Outro]

'Cause I am a prodigal

And I am a runaway

Oh, I am a criminal

Oh, I am a hypocrite

But I am a child of God, hmm

Yes, I am a child of God
