I didn't get much response to my query yesterday, There's a beautiful song called, I believe, "I'll Be With Thee". Jerry Garcia covered it. It starts out
"Just like the Prodiagal Son when he was far from home He wanted to go back, and tell his father he had done wrong. He fell on his knees, the Lord answered his pleas Said if you go back home I'll go with thee."
Its a gospel tune which repeatedly refers to the Israelites.
Does anyone know anything about this song or where I can find lyrics/chords?
