I Am Coming Home

lyricist: Alfred Ackley, 1911
Composer: Bentley Ackley

Jesus

I am com­ing home to­day

for

I have found there’s joy in Thee alone;

From the path of sin I turn away; now

I am com­ing home.

Jesus

I am com­ing home to­day

Never

nev­er more from Thee to stray;

Lord

I now ac­cept Thy pre­cious pro­mise

I am com­ing home.

Many years my heart has strayed from Thee

and

Now re­pent­ant to Thy throne I come;

Jesus op­ened up the way for me; now

I am com­ing home.

O the mi­se­ry my sin has caused me

Naught but pain and sor­row I have known;

Now I seek Thy sav­ing grace and mer­cy;

I am com­ing home.

Fully trust­ing in Thy pre­cious pr­omise

With no right­eous­ness to call my own

Pleading no­thing but the blood of Je­sus

I am com­ing home.

Now I seek the cross where Je­sus died! For

All my sins His blood will still atone

Flowing o’er till ev’ry stain is co­vered;

I am com­ing home.
