Tune: WANDERED FAR · 8.8.8.8
Scripture: Luke 15:11-32

Verse 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,
Nevermore to roam,
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 2

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

Verse 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.

Verse 4

My only hope, my only plea,
Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 5

I need His cleansing blood I know,
Now I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow;
Lord, I’m coming home.
