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.

I love You Lord Jesus! I search for that perfect place to call home, where I feel at peace; But wherever You are is HOME. You're in my heart and I'm already home.

Thanks for the song.

What a joy to read these comments about our Lord, Who prepares us to crossover to eternal life. Everything else, including success and riches, is just a waste of time. Beautiful hymn focusing on "coming home."

My soul has been sick, my heart was sore,

Now I'm coming home; Lord I glorify Your name.

This song is most fitting for the end of my presentation to the congregation on Sunday 28th... distractions, problems and self-importance influence us to stray - let us consider death and the judgement and hurry home....

O Lord, I know I have sinned against You, against my family.

I strayed so far away from You. Now I know the error of my ways and I want to come back to You. Please forgive this unworthy sinner and hug me in Your arms and accept me back.

This hymn is one of the best in my life. It keeps me closer to the Lord always as I meditate its theme.

Won't you come on home?
