“The Prodigal Son” – The Cathedrals Featuring Glen Payne (Live Concert)

“The Prodigal Son,” performed by The Cathedrals featuring Glenn Payne, is a stirring rendition that brings to life one of the most beloved parables from the Bible. The story of the Prodigal Son, which is found in Luke 15:11-32, revolves around the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Through Payne’s powerful voice and the ensemble’s harmonies, the performance captures the emotional journey of the wayward son who, after squandering his inheritance on reckless living, returns home in shame and regret. The Cathedrals, renowned for their rich harmonies and uplifting gospel music, infuse the narrative with a sense of hope and reconciliation.

The Cathedrals was an American southern gospel music group formed in the late 1960s. Known for their rich harmonies and powerful vocal arrangements, the group became a staple in the southern gospel genre. Their distinctive blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs resonated with audiences, earning them numerous awards and accolades over the years. From 1964 through 1999, a group many cite as the finest example of Southern Gospel quartet singing ever, toured the nation and the world. The Cathedrals, a Christian quartet that consisted of Ernie Haase, Scott Fowler, Glen Payne, George Younce, Danny Funderburk, and Roger Bennett, hailed from the south and started in 1964. Their charismatic performances and heartfelt messages captured the hearts of fans across the United States and beyond. The Cathedrals’ influence can still be felt today, as they paved the way for many modern gospel artists. They disbanded in 1999, but their legacy endures through timeless recordings and the continued appreciation of their music by new generations of listeners.

The Prodigal Son Lyrics


1. Like the prodigal son I wandered in darkness
And I traded my life for a world of good time
No peace in my heart I ever could find
And I got so tired feeding after the swine

(Chorus)
So I believe I’ll go home and eat with the Father
The table is spread and they’re waiting for me
I can see the Father coming out to greet me
“Lord I’m willing to be just a servant for Thee”

2. Like the prodigal son I wandered from Jesus
But the Good Shepherd saw through the heat and the cold
The ninety and nine He left in the fold
Just to find this lost sheep that was hungry and cold

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us Lyrics

How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss –
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life –
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer;
But this I know with all my heart –
His wounds have paid my ransom.

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow Lyrics

I don’t know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don’t borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don’t worry o’er the future
For I know what Jesus said
cnd today I’ll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead

Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
cnd I know who holds my hand

Ev’ry step is getting brighter
cs the golden stairs I climb
Ev’ry burden’s getting lighter
Ev’ry cloud is silver-lined
There the sun is always shining
There no tear will dim the eye
ct the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky

I don’t know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the One who feeds the sparrow
Is the One who stands by me
cnd the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
cnd I’m covered with His blood
