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 your love, believe your 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]
5. My only hope and only plea;
Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
Lord, I’m coming home. [Refrain]
6. I need his cleansing blood, I know;
Now I’m coming home;
Oh, wash me whiter than the snow;
Lord, I’m coming home. [Refrain]
