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
