Text:Lord, I'm Coming Home
Author:W. J. K.
Tune:[I've wandered far away from God]
Composer:Wm. J. Kirkpatrick

150. Lord, I'm Coming Home

1 I’ve wandered far away from God,
Now I’m coming home;
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod,
Lord, I’m coming home.

Refrain:
Coming home, coming home,
Never more to roam,
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.

2 I’ve wasted many precious years,
Now I’m coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I’m coming home. [Refrain]

3 I’m tired of sin and straying, Lord,
Now I’m coming home;
I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy Word,
Lord, I’m coming home. [Refrain]

4 My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I’m coming home. [Refrain]
