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.
 
Coming home, coming home,
  Nevermore 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.
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.
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.
5
My only hope, my only plea,
  Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
  Lord, I’m coming home.
6
I need His cleansing blood, I know,
  Now I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow;
  Lord, I’m coming home.

My soul has been sick, my heart was sore,

Now I'm coming home; Lord I glorify Your name.


Dr. Cynthia Crump

This song is most fitting for the end of my presentation to the congregation on Sunday 28th... distractions, problems and self-importance influence us to stray - let us consider death and the judgement and hurry home....

O Lord, I know I have sinned against You, against my family.

I strayed so far away from You. Now I know the error of my ways and I want to come back to You. Please forgive this unworthy sinner and hug me in Your arms and accept me back.

I now repent with bitter tears, Lord I'm coming home... O wash me whiter than the snow, Lord. I'm coming home.

This hymn is one of the best in my life. It keeps me closer to the Lord always as I meditate its theme.


Goke Adefusi

I was looking for a message to give to our congregation's Bible studies today and I remember this song. We are far from God and need going back to Him, especially me.


Solomon Richard

Nairobi, Kenya

It is touchy. I've made my mind to go back home to my God like a prodigal son.

Won't you come on home?

I now repent with bitter tears;

Lord, I'm coming home.

Chorus 2:

Coming home, coming home!

Nevermore to roam!

In the Father's home.

Lord, I'm coming home.
