“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

Jerusalem Lyrics

Song by The Hoppers

John saw the city, that could not be hid
John saw this city, oh yes he did
John caught a glimpse of the golden throne
Tell me all about it, go right on

Around the throne he saw a crystal sea
There’s got to be more, what will it be
I want to go, to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem
I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

John saw the lion, lay down by the lamb
I wanna know everything about that land
John saw the day but he did not see night
The lamb of God, well, he must be the light

And he saw the saints worship the great I Am
Crying worthy, worthy is the lamb
I want to go to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem I want to walk your streets that are golden
And I want to run where the angels have trod
Jerusalem I want to rest on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o’er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forever
Forever more

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem

I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God
City of God
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
City of God
It’s the city of God

When God Seems So Near

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.

There are times when I cannot feel His presence
When the clouds of doubt obscure the Master’s smile
But when I’m still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my Lord has been there all the while

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
These are the times when God seems so near.
