Intro (2x)

F       C/E     Dm7     Bb

Verse 1:
     F            C/E
When I left home to be who I am
 Dm7                       Bb
Some people said “no way”
 F                      C/E
But I laid it all down, gave everything
 Dm7                                C/E
In my head rang the words that my Father said
 Gm7
You’re never far
     Bb
I will be where you are
             Gm7
And when you come to Me
                   Bb
I will open My arms (open My arms)

Chorus:
                  F
Welcome home, you
                   C
I know you by name
             Bb
How do you do?

I shine because of you today
                    Dm7
So come and sit down
                    C
Tell me how you are
          Bb
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face

(To go to second verse, intro repeats once)

Verse 2:
     F            C/E
When I look at you holding my heart
       Dm7                              Bb
I will give to you all that I have
          F                                        C/E
Son, I know there’ll be times you will feel all alone
          Dm7                                   Bb
I will share with you the words my Father said
         Gm7
You’re never far
            Bb
I will be where you are
                 Gm7
And when you come to Me
          Bb
You can bet I will open My arms

(Chorus)

        So I’ll be waiting for that day
           C                      Gm7
Just to feel Your warm embrace

For You will welcome me home..............

   Welcome home..............
