I was taken back
When you took me in
Just to wipe
My tears away
You made no demands
Chose not to blame
Though I knew
You had the right to
And I saw the years I wasted
Searching everywhere it may
Finding nothing to believe in
Until I finally heard you say
CHORUS:
Welcome home
My mercy's waiting
Welcome home
To open arms
Theres no shame
In your returning
Though you may have wandered far
Welcome home
That was years ago
So far away
At an alter on
My knees
I can still recall
Like yesterday
How your love
Forever changed me
Oh I see how you've been faithful
Though I've often caused you pain
And I've learned you won't forsake me
Well, I need to hear you say...
CHORUS (3x)
When you took me in
Just to wipe
My tears away
You made no demands
Chose not to blame
Though I knew
You had the right to
And I saw the years I wasted
Searching everywhere it may
Finding nothing to believe in
Until I finally heard you say
CHORUS:
Welcome home
My mercy's waiting
Welcome home
To open arms
Theres no shame
In your returning
Though you may have wandered far
Welcome home
That was years ago
So far away
At an alter on
My knees
I can still recall
Like yesterday
How your love
Forever changed me
Oh I see how you've been faithful
Though I've often caused you pain
And I've learned you won't forsake me
Well, I need to hear you say...
CHORUS (3x)
