Lyrics

Verse 1

I've wandered far away from God, now I'm coming home; the paths of sin too long have trod,

Lord I'm coming home.

Verse 2

I'm tired of sin and straying,

Lord, now I'm coming home;

I'll trust thy love, believe thy word,

Chorus

Coming home, coming home, never more to roam; open wide the arms of love, lord,

I'm coming home.
