LORD, I'M COMING HOME
"I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have
sinned against heaven and you." Luke 15:18
Words & Music: William James Kirkpatrick, Winning Songs (Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1892).
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,
Nevermore to roam,
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I'm coming home.
I've wasted many precious years,
Now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I'm coming home.
Refrain
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
My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I'm coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I'm coming home.
