G C G With great anticipation he waited at the door D G His only son was due from overseas C G For months now he?d been waiting since he?d gone off to war D G And his eyes were filled with tears of great relief C G Welcome home son his loving arms held open and his heart so full of love C G Welcome home son I?ve been praying and been hoping and I never did give up
I knew that you?d return to me the place where you were meant to be
C Rest now for you?ve been gone too long G I heard him say as they embraced I?ve waited so long for this day D G My son my very own welcome home C G But a dreary rain was falling while another soldier fell D G And a mother wakes up crying in the night C G She thought she?d heard him calling in that moment she could tell D G Her only son had passed into the light C G Welcome home son his loving arms held open and his heart so full of love C G 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
C Rest now for you?ve been gone too long G As they embraced I heard him say I?ve waited so long for this day D G My son my very own welcome home C G Now I think of all the families that?ve lost a darling one D G And I think how Jesus died for all our sins C G And I think how much God loved us to send His only Son D G To live and die and then to live again C G Welcome home Son I hear God saying when they nail Christ to the cross that day C G 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
C Rest now for you?ve been gone too long G I hear God say as they embrace I?ve waited so long for this day D G Well done my faithful Son welcome home C G Welcome home I hope to hear God saying when it?s my time to go C G Welcome home while the angel band is playing and God comes to claim my soul
The angels will be singing and joy bells will be ringing
C Rejoicing I?ll shout and sing along G When there are no more wars to fight and we?re all children of the light D G When the Father and the Son say welcome home
