Lord, I'm Coming Home

This was the invitation song when I was baptized.

 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.  

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. 

Refrain:  

Coming home, coming home,  

Never more to roam,  

Open wide Thine arms of love,  

Lord, I'm coming home.

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 

Luke 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.    

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.    Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
