I’m coming home ..

I’ve wandered far away from God,
Now I’m coming home;
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod,
God, I’m coming home.

Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam,
Open wide your arms of love,
I’m coming home.

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

I’m tired of sin and straying, God,
Now I’m coming home;
I’ll trust your love, believe your Word,
I’m coming home.

My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
God, I’m coming home.

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

I need His cleansing blood, I know,
Now I’m coming home;
Wash me whiter than the snow,
God, I’m coming home.

I hear your welcome voice,
That calls me, God, to you,
To perfect faith and love;
To perfect hope, and peace and trust,
For earth and heaven above,
I’m coming home.

Lead me to give to You,
Lead me to serve You,
Lead me to love You,
Thou art all in all, God,
Lead me.
God, I’m coming home.

My times are in your hands,
And all my days in your keeping,
You lift my feet from the stone,
And take my hand in the darkness,
Your meadows and woods are mine,
And your waters flow through my heart,
You are the glory and the love
of all Eternity,
And I belong to You forever;
I’m coming home.

Wash my feet with your love
and my soul with your spirit,
Lift me from deep within and soars to meet your glory,
When I sink at last
Before the glory of your presence,
When I come to you
Out of this world’s flights and falls,
When I sing to you
My soul’s humble adoration,
You reach down
And bathe me in your love,
God, I’m coming home.

When I resign my will to yours
all that comes to me is of You;
Whenever I give my life to it
it covers me and leads me;
Your sight, your way, your plan
your all-seeing, all-knowing wisdom,
Is brought to me when I wait
Is brought to me as your gift,
It is precious – Your Will
it is Holy;
It guides me and molds me and keeps me;
Make me to live so within it
that I come to its wholeness
to You.
God, I’m coming home..I'm coming home..
