Age of Faith
RED CARPET

         words by jimi ray and brian white
         music by jimi ray

         this song is probably my favorite on the cd. a song about the prodigal--not
         necessarily the one in the book, but rather ourselves. through all the
         disobedience, the running away, trying to hide, our loving father still
         welcomes us home with open arms and the feast to match.  forgiveness is
         always, mercy never ending.

         C 
         LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN
                                                 C/B
         RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL
                                                                                       
         Am
         TO THE WORLD HEAD ON TILL THERES A CRASH
                                   Fmaj7
         I KNOW HE NEEDS TO FIND HIS OWN WAY

         C 
         PUSH THE ENVELOPE AS FAR AS IT CAN GO
                                    C/B
         NOW THE MONEYS GONE SO FAR FROM HOME
                  Am                                                       F maj7
           I GUESS HE HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY


         Fmaj7                                           C
         SOMETIMES PAIN BRINGS RELIEF
         Fmaj7              
         SOMETIMES THE BOTTOM
                              G 
         IS THE ONLY PLACE TO FIND SOME PEACE


         CHORUS

         C                                           G
         ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET
         Fmaj7          
         HES THERE IN THE DISTANCE
         C                   G
         RUNNING TO HIS FATHERS ARMS
         C                                           G
         BRING OUT THE BEST LINEN
               Fmaj7 
         PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
                     C                          G
         MY SON WHO WAS LOST

                   Fmaj7
         IS COMING HOME
                      G                                 C        G-  Fmaj7
         ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET


         JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD IT KICKED
         IM FACE TO FACE WITH THIS OLD SIN
         LOOKS GOOD FROM WHERE IM STANDIN

         AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE
         PACK MY BAGS 
         BACK ON THE RUN
         IS THERE A CAVE WHERE I CAN HIDE

         AND NOW THE CRAVINGS’ COME AND GONE
         WHAT I NEEDED HAS LEFT ME SO ALL ALONE
