2707. I Am Coming Home

1. Jesus, I am coming home today,
for I have found there’s joy in Thee alone;
From the path of sin I turn away;
now I am coming home.

Refrain
Jesus, I am coming home today,
Never, never more from Thee to stray;
Lord, I now accept Thy precious promise,
I am coming home.

2. Many years my heart has strayed from Thee,
and Now repentant to Thy throne I come;
Jesus opened up the way for me;
now I am coming home. [Refrain]

3. O the misery my sin has caused me,
Naught but pain and sorrow I have known;
Now I seek Thy saving grace and mercy;
I am coming home. [Refrain]

4. Fully trusting in Thy precious promise,
With no righteousness to call my own,
Pleading nothing but the blood of Jesus,
I am coming home. [Refrain]

5. Now I seek the cross where Jesus died! For
All my sins His blood will still atone,
Flowing o’er till ev’ry stain is covered;
I am coming home. [Refrain]
