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 in vain.
Finding nothing to believe in,
until I finally heard you say

Chorus:
Welcome home
My mercy's waiting.
Welcome home
to open arms.
There's no shame in your returning;
though you may have wondered far,
welcome home.

That was years ago; so far away,
At an altar on my knees.
But I can still recall, like yesterday
how your love forever changed me.
Oh I see how you've been faithful,
though I often caused you pain.
And I've learned you won't forsake me
when I need to hear you say

Repeat Chorus
