Welcome Home Lyrics & Tabs by Ron Kenoly
Welcome Home
guitar chords lyrics
The road was straight and narrow
Leading to my father's house
The gates were open wide
Awaiting my return
Near them stood my father
With his arms stretched out to me
With tears on his face
I heard him say
Welcome home
I've missed you so much
My heart has been broken
Since the day you went away
Welcome home
I'll prepare a celebration
Come take your place beside me
Welcome home
I'll prepare a celebration
Come take your place beside me
You've been gone so long
Welcome home
His hand was on my shoulders
As we walked up to the house
Mom peeped out the front door
And then came running out
She threw her arms around me
And sqeezed me like only Mom can
And then kissed me on my cheek
And with my face held in her hands
She said welcome home
How I longed for this moment
I've prayed for you each night
Since the day you went away
Welcome home
I'll prepare a place for you
My prayers have been answered
Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus
Welcome home
Oh how good it felt to be
In my father's house
After all the pain and heartache
I had put him through
And to know that I'm forgiven
And my past has been forgotten
And to hear my family say
We still love you
Oh welcome home
Oh how sweet the sound
Those simple words we love you
Still echo in my heart
Welcome home
No more will I take this place
For granted
It's so good to be loved and wanted
After you've done wrong
And still be welcomed home
Welcome home
