Representative Text

1 I’m coming back to Jesus,
Guilty and full of sin,
I’ve wander’d so far from his mercy,
Still he will take me in.

Refrain:
I’m coming back to Jesus,
Back to the truth and right,
I know it will cost me a struggle,
But I’m coming back tonight;
I’m coming back to Jesus,
I’m coming back tonight.

2 I’m coming back to Jesus,
Back to the arms of love,
I’ll come, and all broken with sorrow,
His sweet forgiveness prove. [Refrain]

3 I’m coming back to Jesus,
Leaving all else behind,
Farewell to the sins that beguile me,
Now I shall pardon find. [Refrain]
