I’ve wandered far away from God

by William James Kirkpatrick

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 296.

Verse 1

I’ve wandered far away from God, Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod; Lord, I’m coming home.

Refrain

Coming home, coming home Never more to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord I’m coming home.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

I’m tired of sin and straying Lord, Now I’m coming home; I’ll trust thy love believe thy word; Lord I’m coming home.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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