GWith great anticipationC he waited Gat the door His only son was Ddue from ovGerseas For months now he?d been waiting sinceC he?d gone off toG war And his eyes were filled with Dtears of great reGlief
Welcome Chome son his loving arms held open and his heart so Gfull of love Welcome Chome son I?ve been praying and been hoping and I never did Ggive up
I knew that you?d return to me the place where you were meant to be
Rest now for you?ve been gone Ctoo long I heard him say as they embraced I?ve Gwaited so long for this day My Dson my very own welGcome home
But a dreary rain was falling while aCnother soldGier fell And a mother wakes up Dcrying in theG night She thought she?d heard him calling in that Cmoment she coulGd tell Her only son had Dpassed into theG light
Welcome Chome son his loving arms held open and his heart so Gfull of love Welcome Chome son as Jesus stood there glowing their hands reached out aGnd touched
I knew that you?d return to me the place that you were meant to be
Rest now for you?ve been gone Ctoo long As they embraced I heard him say I?ve Gwaited so long for this day My Dson my very own welGcome home
Now I think of all the families that?ve Clost a darlGing one And I think how Jesus Ddied for all Gour sins And I think how much God loved us to Csend His onGly Son To live and die and Dthen to livGe again
Welcome Chome Son I hear God saying when they nail Christ to the crosGs that day Welcome Chome Son and when He sent His angels to roll that stone aGway
I knew that you?d return to me the place where you were meant to be
Rest now for you?ve been gone Ctoo long I hear God say as they embrace I?ve Gwaited so long for this day Well Ddone my faithful Son welGcome home
Welcome Chome I hope to hear God saying when it?s my time to Ggo Welcome Chome while the angel band is playing and God comes to claim my Gsoul
The angels will be singing and joy bells will be ringing
Rejoicing I?ll shout and sing Calong When there are no more wars to fight and Gwe?re all children of the light When the DFather and the Son say welGcome home
