Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Pain is always closer than any friend I find
Peace will only last for awhile
The brokenness I see will always be by my side
When I lay this old body down
There will be no fear to be found
Cause when I hear the angels singing
And join in on their song
I won't need any answers
When I hear welcome home
Welcome home
Until that day comes and I see Him face to face
I'll walk these streets with sinners like me
I'll keep longing for a home that I have yet to see
I close my eyes and dream of the day
When all the hurt is washed away
Then I'll drink from the cup
Of the wine that you pour
And oh I'll hear you say
Welcome home
Cause when I hear the angels singing
And join in on their song
I won't need any answers
When I hear
Oh when I hear the angels singing
And join in on their song
I won't need any answers
When I hear welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
