61. I Am Going Back to Jesus

1 I am going back to Jesus,
Tho’ I’ve wandered far away,
And upon His tender mercy,
I will cast myself today.

Refrain:
I am going back to Jesus,
Weak and sinful tho’ I be,
I’ll accept His invitation,
From my sins to set me free.

2 I am going back to Jesus,
I am knocking at the door,
I am sure that He will greet me
As he oft has done before. [Refrain]

3 I am going back to Jesus,
Tho’ I know I’m full of sin,
Yet with loving invitation,
He will bid me enter in. [Refrain]

4 I am going back to Jesus,
With a load of care oppressed,
But He’ll soothe my troubled spirit,
And will give me peace and rest. [Refrain]
