  1. 1I’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. 2I’ve wasted many precious years,Now I’m coming home;I now repent with bitter tears,Lord, I’m coming home.Coming home, coming home,Nevermore to roam;Open wide Thine arms of love,Lord, I’m coming home.
  3. 3I’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.Coming home, coming home,Nevermore to roam;Open wide Thine arms of love,Lord, I’m coming home.
  4. 4My soul is sick, my heart is sore,Now I’m coming home;My strength renew, my hope restore,Lord, I’m coming home.Coming home, coming home,Nevermore to roam;Open wide Thine arms of love,Lord, I’m coming home.
  5. 5My only hope, my only plea,Now I’m coming home;That Jesus died, and died for me,Lord, I’m coming home.Coming home, coming home,Nevermore to roam;Open wide Thine arms of love,Lord, I’m coming home.
  6. 6I need His cleansing blood, I know,Now I’m coming home;O, wash me whiter than the snow,Lord, I’m coming home.Coming home, coming home,Nevermore to roam;Open wide Thine arms of love,Lord, I’m coming home.
