Welcome Home

O little traveler, seems we've waited for so long,
O little traveler, come and rest here in my arms,
So much of life ahead, we will keep you safe and warm;
O little traveler, welcome home.

You're on a journey, only God knows where you'll go;
He'll weave the tapestry and with our help He'll sew
The story He has planned so very long ago;
O little traveler, welcome home.

Chorus:
Welcome home, welcome home, my child, where you belong;
And wherever you go along life's road,
May you know that you're never alone;
Precious child, welcome home.

These cherished moments will hold tight when you have grown,
Teach you to find your wings, for soon you will have flown;
We'll love with open arms, hoping you will always know
We'll be here waiting, welcome home.

We are all travelers, each with a race to run;
We'll stay together, but when all is said and done
We pray the way we live will lead you to the One
Who can truly say, "Welcome home. Precious child, welcome home."
