Light in the Valley ‎#82

82. Now I'm Coming Home

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

Chorus:
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;
Blieving the Saviour will welcome me in,
Now I am coming home. [Chorus]

3 Knowing my Saviour can give me his rest,
Now I am coming home;
Longing to anchor my soul on his breast,
Now I am coming home. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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