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
