Like every wandering heart Every wayward son
I know The weary road
But on the darkest of days Still my heart could say
I know I never walked alone
When I was gone
All along
My fathers eyes were on the horizon
He always knew
That in the end
He was the one I would come home to Every hour
I wasted
Every battle I lost
My father was waiting to say with open arms
Welcome home
After the miles I walked
and the time I lost along
that hopeless road
Though I stumbled and strayed Lord, I found the way back home
and it was just one step away
This is where we belong This is where we belong

The Altar Music's song 'Welcome Home' tells the story of a wayward heart returning to God. Drawing from the parable of the prodigal son, the lyrics describe a journey of wandering and loss, but emphasize that the Father was always waiting with open arms. The song conveys that no matter how far one strays, coming home is just a step away. It speaks to God's relentless love and readiness to receive those who return.
