Lord, I'm Coming Home

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

I've wandered far away from God,

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
