John Nuttall
This is the first of the Father albums ….
Let God the Father sing His affirmation over you …
Welcome Home,
Precious Child,
I'll love you,
I delight in you,
and let Him pour His Fatherly love into your hearts.
Father's Love is the first album I did in collaboration with Andy Green of Cornerhouse Productions in 2007.
It followed a weekend with Jeff Scaldwell on the Fatherheart of God, which was to change my life and impact my Christian walk forever.
I realised my Father had put a number of songs into my spirit years earlier, and they just came out as I heard the wonderful message of His love for me.
The album features gentle as well as rhythmic songs that come straight out of the heart of the Father to his children.
As such when you hear the songs you can hear Father God singing his love songs over you…
Welcome Home (album Father's Love)
There's too many ways to get down here
Too many options to take
Too many paths to destruction
Only one good exit to take
Been on the road far too long now
A long uphill climb awaits me
I think I'll come to my senses
I'm about as low as can be
Father I'm broken before you
Here let me stay at your feet
Humbled and lost in the shadows
Hoping our eyes will not meet
Welcome home, welcome home
To the father who loves you,
You're welcome home
Come to the Feast
Where the greatest are least
And the last shall be first
Come to the light
Where the darkness of night
Will be taken away
Come to the place
Where the hurt on your face
Will be turned into peace
Here in my kingdom
Kingdom of light
Put a ring on his finger
And shoes on his feet
Let a party be given
Rejoice with me
He was lost but is found,
He's found his way home
To the father who loves you
You're welcome home
The song "Welcome Home" by John Nuttall is a beautiful expression of God's love for His children. The lyrics are a poignant reminder that no matter how far we may wander, we will always be welcomed back into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. The opening line speaks of the many options and paths that we have in life, but it also reminds us that there is only one good exit to take. This exit is found in the love of the Father, who is always waiting for us with open arms.
The theme of humility is a central part of this song. The lyrics speak of being broken and lost in the shadows, hoping that our eyes will not meet with the Father's. But this is precisely where we need to be - at the feet of our Father, humbled by His love and mercy. The chorus declares that we are welcome home, precious child, and that we are loved, delighted in, and beautiful in the eyes of our Father. The song invites us to soak in His love and to let Him pour His Fatherly love into our hearts.
Overall, the song "Welcome Home" is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we may roam, we can always return to the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father. It is a call to humility and surrender, and a celebration of the Father's unconditional love for us.
