PRODIGAL SON - Mark Laurent

The parable of the prodigal son is possibly Jesus' most beautiful story. I wrote this sometime in the early '80s, and it's on the album Kindness In A Strong City, which is available for download @

This re-visit is from the early 2000s.

@akahaurua Bless you for that comment - it really encourages me :-)

Wow, Mark ... I don't know you, but I'm so pleased you're still out there playing and singing. I remember seeing you and Brenda perform at 1st Presbyterian Church in Papakura, back in 1993 or so, while I was in Auckland staying with my cousin for the weekend. Your music touched me greatly then, and I still play the TAPE (!!) I purchased that night ... and it still touches me every time. God bless & keep you always.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Great performance Mark. Your songs never age! It's as beautiful today as it was when I first heard it in the late 70's!

Nice one Mark! I'm pretty sure I've got a copy of Kindness about somewhere... I should dust it off!
