The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11390

11390. Now I'm Coming Home

1 Long have I wandered afar from my Lord,
Now I am coming home;
Longing to be to His favor restored,
Now I am coming home.

Refrain:
Yes, I am coming, dear Lord, I’m coming,
Just now I’m coming home;
Yes, I am coming, dear Lord, I’m coming,
Just now I’m coming home.

2 Tired of the world with its folly and sin,
Now I am coming home;
Knowing the Savior will welcome me in,
Now I am coming home. [Refrain]

3 Knowing my Savior can give me His rest,
Now I am coming home;
Longing to anchor my soul on His breast,
Now I am coming home. [Refrain]

4 Humbly I crave but a poor servant’s place,
Now I am coming home;
Only desiring to taste of His grace,
Now I am coming home. [Refrain]

5 O, bless the Lord, my dear Savior I see,
Now I am coming home;
Waiting to welcome a sinner like me,
Now I am coming home. [Refrain]
