Donnie Sumner's live rendition of 'Lord, I'm Coming Home' is a classic gospel hymn about repentance and returning to God. The singer confesses wandering into sin, wasting years, and feeling spiritually sick, but expresses a heartfelt decision to come back to the Father. The lyrics emphasize trusting God's love, believing His word, and relying on Jesus' sacrifice for cleansing and restoration. The repeated refrain 'Lord, I'm coming home' underscores a theme of surrender and hope in God's open arms. The song connects naturally to the parable of the prodigal son and the promise of forgiveness.

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


Coming home, coming home,

Nevermore to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love,

Lord, I?m coming home.


I?ve wasted many precious years,

Now I?m coming home;

I now repent with bitter tears,

Lord, I?m coming home.


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.


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 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;

Oh, wash me whiter than the snow,

Lord, I?m coming home.
