Welcome Home 歌詞

The road was straight and narrow Leading to my father's house The gates were open wide Awaiting my return Near them stood my father With his arms stretched out to me With tears on his face I heard him say Welcome home I've missed you so much My heart has been broken Since the day you went away Welcome home I'll prepare a celebration Come take your place beside me You've been gone so long Welcome home His hand was on my shoulders As we walked up to the house Mom peeped out the front door And then came running out She threw her arms around me And sqeezed me like only Mom can And then kissed me on my cheek And with my face held in her hands She said welcome home How I longed for this moment I've prayed for you each night Since the day you went away Welcome home I'll prepare a place for you My prayers have been answered Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus Welcome home Oh how good it felt to be In my father's house After all the pain and heartache I had put him through And to know that I'm forgiven And my past has been forgotten And to hear my family say We still love you Oh welcome home Oh how sweet the sound Those simple words we love you Still echo in my heart Welcome home No more will I take this place For granted It's so good to be loved and wanted After you've done wrong And still be welcomed home Welcome home
