Welcome Home
The Gospel Plowboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s a day just out in front of us
I know will surely come
That eastern sky will open wide
Revealing God's dear son

And I know from here to Heaven
Is but the twinkling of an eye
And in the midst of all his glory
You′ll hear the sweetest cry

Welcome Home
I knew you'd come
Welcome Home
You're here for good
Look around
Was it worth the wait?
Welcome Home
Step through the gate

I believe at least for me
I′ll see my mom and dad
My brothers and my sisters there
Everywhere you look are friends
Oh, the greetings will be precious
From those we′ve loved so dear
But no mortal man has ever heard
The likes of when he hears

Welcome Home
I knew you'd come
Welcome Home
You′re here for good
Look around
Was it worth the wait?
Welcome home
Step through the gate

I believe He's coming soon
Maybe night or noon
In the twinkling of an eye
We′ll be caught up in the sky

Welcome Home
I knew you'd come
Welcome Home
You′re here for good
Look around
Was it worth the wait?
Welcome home
Step through the gate

Welcome Home
I knew you'd come
Welcome Home
You're here for good
Oh, and look around
Was it worth the wait?




Welcome home
Step through the gate
