Now is the time to throw a party
The time is now, don't hesitate
One of the children who was searching has come home
Now is the time to celebrate
So let the music play on
Let the party begin
Celebrate the love of the Father
With dancing feet and joyful song
Celebrate His mercy together
This is the place where we belong
This is the house of love and laughter
The place where we are finally free
So tell all the children who are searching 'Come on home'
This is the place for you and me
So let the music play on
Let the party begin
Celebrate the love of the Father
With dancing feet and joyful song
Celebrate His mercy together
This is the place where we belong
Who can touch our deepest shame
Give us hope to live again
Who can all us all by name
Only the Father
Who can find the homeless ones
Call them daughters, call them sons
Who can say the words 'Well done!'
Only the Father
Who can make all sorrow cease
Fill the heart with perfect peace
Who can set the Spirit free
Only the Father
Celebrate the love of the Father
With dancing feet and joyful song
Celebrate His mercy together
This is the place where we belong
Celebrate the love of the Father
With dancing feet and joyful song
Celebrate His mercy together
This is the place where we belong
