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'd return to me
The place where you were meant to be
Rest now, for you've been gone too long.
I hear him say as they embrace
"I've waited so long for this day
My son, my very own... Welcome home."


But a dreary rain was falling
while another soldier fell
And a mother wakes up
crying in the night
She thought she'd heard him calling
in that moment she could tell
Her only son had passed into the light


Welcome home, son
His loving arems held open
and his heart so full of love
Welcome home, son
As Jesus stood there glowing, their
hands reached out and touched
I knew that you'd return to me
The place that you were meant to be
Rest now, for you've been gone too long
As they embraced I heard him say
"I've waited so long for this day
My son, my very own... Welcome home."

Now I think of all the families
that have lost a darling one
And I think how Jesus
died for all our 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 saying when they nailed
Christ to the cross that day
Welcome home son
And when he sent his angels
to roll that stone away
I knew that you'd return to me
The place where you were meant to be
Rest now, for you've been gone too long
I hear God say as they embrace
"I've waited so long for this day
Well done my faithful
son... Welcome home."


Welcome home!
I hope to hear God saying
when it's my time to go!
Welcome home!
While the angel band is playing
and God comes to claim my soul!
The angels will be singing
and joybells will be ringing!

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!"

I DO NOT OWN THE SONG OR PICTURE! THEY BELONG TO DAILEY AND VINCENT!
