221. 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.

Chorus:
Jesus, I am coming home today,
Never, nevermore 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. [Chorus]

3 Oh, 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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
