With great anticipation he waited at the door[00:00:10]
His only son was due from overseas[00:00:16]
For months now he'd been waitin' since he'd gone off to war[00:00:21]
And his eyes were filled with tears of great relief[00:00:26]
1st[00:00:31]
Welcome home son[00:00:31]
His loving arms held open and his heart so full of love[00:00:34]
Welcome home son[00:00:40]
I've been praying and been hoping and I never did give up[00:00:43]
I knew that you'd return to me[00:00:49]
The place where you were meant to be[00:00:52]
Rest now for you've been gone too long[00:00:55]
I heard him say as they embraced[00:00:59]
I've waited so long for this day[00:01:02]
My son my very own Welcome home[00:01:05]
But a dreary rain was falling while another soldier fell[00:01:14]
And a mother wakes up cryin' in the night[00:01:19]
She thought she'd heard him calling in that moment she could tell[00:01:24]
Her only son had passed into the light[00:01:29]
2nd[00:01:34]
Welcome home son[00:01:34]
His loving arms held open and his heart so full of love[00:01:37]
Welcome home son[00:01:43]
As Jesus stood there glowing their hands reached out and touched[00:01:46]
I knew that you'd return to me[00:01:52]
The place that you were meant to be[00:01:55]
Rest now for you've been gone too long[00:01:58]
As they embraced I heard him say[00:02:03]
I've waited so long for this day[00:02:05]
My son my very own Welcome home[00:02:08]
Now I think of all the families that have lost a darling one[00:02:17]
And I think how Jesus died for all our sins[00:02:22]
And I think how much God loved us to send his only son[00:02:27]
To live and die and then to live again[00:02:32]
3rd[00:02:37]
Welcome home son[00:02:37]
I hear God saying when they nailed Christ to the cross that day[00:02:40]
Welcome home son[00:02:46]
And when he sent his angels to roll that stone away[00:02:49]
I knew that you'd return to me[00:02:56]
The place where you were meant to be[00:02:58]
Rest now for you've been gone too long[00:03:01]
I hear God say as they embrace[00:03:06]
I've waited so long for this day[00:03:09]
Well done my faithful son Welcome home[00:03:11]
4th[00:03:17]
Welcome home[00:03:17]
I hope to hear God sayin when it's my time to go[00:03:18]
Welcome home[00:03:26]
While the angel band is playin' and God comes to claim my soul[00:03:29]
The angels will be singing and joybells will be ringing[00:03:36]
Rejoicing I'll shout and sing along[00:03:41]
When there are no more wars to fight[00:03:46]
And we're all children of the light[00:03:49]
When the father and the Son say[00:03:51]
Welcome home[00:03:55]
