Lord, I'm Coming Home by Wm. J. KirkPatrick — Lyrics
About Lord, I'm Coming Home
This sheet brings together two deeply reflective hymns often heard during seasons of repentance and at the Communion table. The first, "Lord, I'm Coming Home," is a classic call to return to God. Its verses speak honestly of wandering, wasted years, and a weary soul, resolving in the comforting chorus that pictures God's arms open wide in welcome. Choirs frequently sing this during Lenten retreats, penitential rites, or as a solemn meditation, allowing the congregation to reflect on their own spiritual journeys.
The second piece, "Love Is His Word," shifts the focus to the life and sacrifice of Christ. The lyrics trace His earthly ministry—feasting with men, fasting alone, living, dying, and rising again—anchored by the refrain that His love is richer than gold. It is a fitting choice for Communion or Offertory, reminding the faithful of the profound, self-giving love that forms the heart of the Christian walk.
