Verily Father
surely you know his name
On my way I did not make home today
Loves me and all the same
though his heart I pained
on my way I did not make it home today
Missing his forgiving embaces oh his grace
not worthy to be called his son anyway
for I ran to an uttermost place
though time fades remembering kind but fiery eyes
Weak and weary I fell on my face
Just to wash his feet with tears the dirt away
I did not make home today for racing to my side his arms opened wide
I'll never be the same again loving Zeal meet me upon my face in the field
