Lord, I'm Coming Home
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod,
Now, I'm coming home.
Chorus:
Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I'm coming home.
--- Instrumental ---
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,
Nevermore to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I'm coming home...
Lord, I'm Coming Home
