I was so lone­ly, so very lone­ly,
When I from my Sav­ior had wan­dered away;
Now I am hap­py, so ve­ry hap­py,
Since I to my Sav­ior have come home to stay.

Refrain

I’m glad I came home, oh, so glad I came home,
From Je­sus my Sav­ior I’ll ne­ver­more roam;
No more am I starv­ing, wea­ry or lone,
Since Je­sus has found me, I’m glad I came home.

I was so hun­gry, so ve­ry hun­gry,
When out in the de­sert I wan­dered alone;
Since I’m in Ca­naan, liv­ing in Ca­naan,
I’ve plen­ty of bread, oh, I’m glad I came home.

Refrain

I was so wea­ry, so ve­ry wea­ry,
When tired of my wan­d’ring I lay down to die;
Jesus came near me, so ve­ry near me,
When in my dis­tress un­to Him I did cry.

Refrain

I was in dark­ness, walk­ing in dark­ness,
When blind­ed by sin I had stum­bled along;
Now I’m in sun­light, walk­ing in sun­light,
My sight is re­stored, oh, I’m glad I came home.

Refrain
