I was watching the movie GI Joe the other night. That’s where I heard the above quote which I used for the title of this post.
Remember the old hymn, ‘Lord, I’m Coming Home’ by William J. Kirkpatrick? It goes like this…
- 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.- Refrain:
Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.
- Refrain:
- 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.
This song is so dear to me, for there was a time in my life that I wandered far away from God. I walked in sin for many years. When I finally came to the end of myself, I realized that if I wanted to be healed, I’d have to go back “home”…to my Father’s house because that is where my help comes from! The Bible says:
Psalm 121:1
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. the LORD will watch over your coming
and going both now and forevermore.
Are you a sheep that’s gone astray? If so, the Shepherd is searching for you!
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you to come home!
