[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]With great anticipation
He [C]waited at [G]the door
His only son [D]was due from
over[G]seas
For months now he'd been waiting
Since [C]he'd gone off [G]to war
And his eyes were filled
[D]with tears of great [G]relief

[Verse 2]
We[C]come home, son
His loving arms held open and his
heart so [G]full of love
Welcome [C]home, son
I've been prayin' and been hopin'
and I never did [G]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 [C]too long
I heard him say as the embraced
"I've [G]waited so long for this day
[D]My son, my very own
Wel[G]come home."

[Verse 3]
[G]
But a dreary rain was fallin'
While an[C]other soldier [G]fell
And a mother wakes [D]up crying
in [G]the night
She thought she'd heard him calling
In that [C]mo ment she [G]could tell
Her only son [D]had passed into [G]the light

[Verse 4]
We[C]come home, son
His loving arms held open and his
heart so [G]full of love
Welcome [C]home, son
As Jesus stood there glowing
Their hands reached [G]out and touched
I knew that you'd return to me
The place where you were meant to be
Rest now, for you've been gone [C]too long
As they embraced I heard him say
"I've [G]waited so long for this day
My [D]son, my very own
Wel[G]come [Eb]home."

[Verse 5]
I [Ab]think of all the families
Who've [Db]lost a darling [Ab]one
I think how [Eb]Jesus died for all [Ab]their sins
And I think how much God loved us
To [Db]send His only [Ab]Son
To live and die and [Eb]then
to [Ab]live again

[Verse 6]
"Welcome [Db]home, son"
I hear God saying when they nailed Christ
To the [Ab]cross that day
"Welcome [Db]home, son"
And when he sent his angels
To roll that [Ab]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 [Db]too long."
I hear God say as they embrace
"I've [Ab]waited so long for this day
Well [Eb]done, my faithful Son
Wel[Ab]come home."

[Verse 7]
Welcome [Db]home
I hope to hear God saying
When it's my time to [Ab]go
Welcome [Db]home
While the angel band is playing
And God comes to claim [Ab]my soul
The angels will be singing
And joy-bells will will be ringing
Rejoicing, I'll shout and sing [Db]along
When there are no more wars to fight
And [Ab]we're all children of the Light
When the [Eb]father and the Son
Say, "Wel[Ab]come [Db]home"[Ab]
Welcome [Db]home
Welcome home
[Ab]
