I’ve wasted many precious years,
  Now I’m coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
  Lord, I’m coming home.

My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
  Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore:
  Lord, I’m coming home.

My strength renew, my hope restore:
  Lord, I’m coming home.

My only hope, my only plea,
  Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
  Lord, I’m coming home.
My only hope, my only plea,
  Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
  Lord, I’m coming home.

I need His cleansing blood, I know,
  Now I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow;
  Lord, I’m coming home.
I need His cleansing blood, I know,
  Now I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow;
  Lord, I’m coming home.

Born in Ireland, Kirkpatrick spent most of his life around the Philadelphia area where he served as music director in various Methodist churches. He is said to have compiled 100 gospel song books. -Songs of the Spirit by Martin

Kirkpatrick wrote this song at a camp meeting in Rawlinsville, Pennsylvania, with a very specific purpose: to win the soul of his soloist, a nonbeliever. After Kirkpatrick prayed for the young man, these words came to him. He wrote them down quickly, and after the soloist sang them that night, he became a Christian.- Winning Songs by John J. Hood

Yes ....I've wandered far away from home.....and now I am coming home....I need to be hugged by my Father God and feel His presence everyday of my life. Father, every sinful act I have done, fornicating, gossiping, preaching what I don't practice, enving, lying and many others...You have known my going out and my coming in, cleanse me by the blood of Jesus and sanctify me Daddy and make me pure and whole. Renew me and purify me oh God and make me worthy of Your kingdom. Wash me and make me as white as snow though my sins are as red as blood. Today I make a fresh start with You. Thank You for the Blood of Jesus. I ask all this in Jesus Name....Amen.

Most beautiful hymn, so reassuring and so forgiving that our Lord is there for us whatever we do in our life - waiting with open arms to welcome us home. Bless me Lord for I have sinned.
