Hymn 95

I’ve wandered far away from God

William J. Kirkpatrick

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.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more 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.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 3

I’ve tired of sin and straying, Lord,

Now I’m coming home;

I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy word,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 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.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 5

My only hope, my only plea,

Now I’m coming home;

That Jesus died, and died for me,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Verse 6

I need His cleansing blood I know,

Now I’m coming home;

Oh, wash me whiter than the snow,

Lord, I’m coming home.

Chorus

Coming home, coming home,

Never more to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I’m coming home.
