Lyrics Welcome Home

With great antisipation he waited at the door
His only son was due from over seas
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 youve been gone to long
I heard him say as they embraced
I've waited so long for this day
My son my very own welcome home

Well a dreary rain is fallin'
Were another soldier fell
While a mother wakes up
Cryin in the night
She thought she heard him calling
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 of love
Welcome home son as
Jesus stood their glowing
Their hand reached out and touched
I knew that you'd return to me
The place that you were meant to be
Rest now for youve been gone to 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 families who have lost a darlin' one
I think how jesus died for all our sins
And i think how much god loves us to
Send his only son to live and die and then to live again

Welcome home son
I hope to hear god saying when its my time to go
Welcome home
While the angel band is playing and god comes too
Claim my soul the angels will be singing
And joy bells will be ringing
Rejoicing ill shout and sing along
When their are no more wars to fight
And where all children of the light when the father
And the son say welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home
