| With great anticipation he waited at the door
His only son was due from overseas For months now he'd been waitin since he'd gone off to war And his eyes were filled with tears of great relief Welcome home son His loving arms held open and his heart so full of love Welcome home son I've been prayin and been hopin and I never did give up I knew that you would return to me, The place you were meant to be Rest now for you have been gone too long I heard him say as they embraced I've waited so long for this day My Son, my very own Welcome home But a dreary rain was fallin while another soldier fell And a Mother wakes up cryin in the night She thought she'd heard him callin, In that moment she could tell Her only son had passed into the light Welcome home Son His loving arms held open and his heart so full with love Welcome home Son As Jesus stood there glowing Their hands reached out and touched I knew that you would return to me, The place you were meant to be Rest now for you've been gone too long I heard him say as they embraced I've waited so long for this day My Son, my very own Welcome home I think of all the families that have lost a darling one And I think how Jesus died for all their sins And I think how much God loved us to send his only Son To live and die and then to live again Welcome home Son I hear God say that when they nailed a cross to the cross that day Welcome home Son And when he sent his Angels to roll that stone away I knew you'd return to me, The place you were meant to be Rest now for you've been gone too long I heard God say as they embraced I've waited so long for this day Well done, my faithful Son. Welcome home Welcome home I hope to hear God sayin when it's my turn to go Welcome home While the Angel band is playing when God comes to claim my soul The Angels will be singin and joybells will be ringin Rejoicing, I'll shout and sing along When there are no more wars to fight and we're all children of the light When the Father and the Son say Welcome home Welcome home Welcome home |
