Representative Text

1 We are coming home to Jesus,
We have heard His welcome voice;
We are trusting in His goodness,
In His mercy we rejoice.

Refrain:
We are coming home,
we are coming home,
We are coming from the darkness to the light;
We are coming home,
we are coming home,
We are coming home tonight.

2 We are coming home to Jesus,
For He died that we might live:
He is willing to receive us,
He is waiting to forgive. [Refrain]

3 We are coming home to Jesus,
By the cross our only way;
There He finished our redemption,
And we can no more delay. [Refrain]
