Prodigal’s Lament
(Luke 15:11-21)
I’m on a long, long journey
I’ve wandered far from home
I’m lost, without direction
I don’t know where to turn
The city lights that beckoned me
Now blind my eyes with tears
The pleasures that I thought were love
Have wounded my heart and soul
God, I’m so tired that I could cry
I’m so lonesome I could die
Father, please forgive me
Please take me back again
I‘m longing for your loving arms
I’m longing to be home
My wandering days are over
I cannot bear the pain
I need your healing kiss of peace
I need your faithful love
God, I’m so tired that I could cry
I’m so lonesome I could die
Gloria Ziemienski
February 1998
