The paths of sin I wandered in had led my feet astray
Old Satan's lies had dimmed my eyes I could not see my way
My ears were dull of hearing, my heart was stony ground
Until the Savior spoke to me and said child turn around
Mmmmm, He said child turn around
I found a way that leads to life and joy beyond compare
I found the cross where Jesus died and left my burdens there
No longer in this world I'm home with troubles all around
I'm headed for a better world, for I am homeward bound
Yes, I am homeward bound
