CityAlight - Welcome Home Lyrics

“Welcome Home” expresses Christian hope in resurrection, faithful service, and final rest in Christ’s presence. Its short stanzas move from Jesus as the first to rise, to saints whose labor has ended, and finally to the singer’s own expectation of being called home. The repeated words “Well done good servant” give the song a calm focus on grace rather than earthly recognition or accomplishment.

That refrain clearly recalls Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25:21, where a faithful servant is welcomed into the master’s joy. The assurance that true life is secure because Jesus lives also reflects John 11:25, in which Christ identifies himself as the resurrection and the life. By adding “by grace alone,” the lyric places its confidence in Christ’s work instead of human merit. Death is therefore presented not as the destruction of Christian hope, but as the passage into the promised welcome of the risen Lord.
