Shame

My Lord! My Lord!
My soul craves for the home-return
Foolish of me to have run away
But in your eternal grace
never once you have given me up 
but kept to me close apace
I have been rude to Thee
unruly idiot child that am I
But you laughed and laughed
and pulled me closer and closer to Thee
I don't deserve this my Lord!
and how can I ever repay
though I understand I belong to Thee
yet my shame eats me up
and I drop my face down before Thee.
