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)
