Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a love that knows no limits
Brings the earth up to the heavens
Can you feel it stirring in your heart?
Stop your running, look no further
Find your rest here, sons and daughters
There is freedom in the house of God
Pre-Chorus
The door is always open
The altar's wherever you make it
You're already forgiven
It's never too late
Chorus
Heaven is singing when we come home
The Father's waiting, is there one more?
We lift our hands and say, "Yes, Lord"
Can you hear Him saying, "Welcome home"?
Verse 2
Born again, a new creation
Life begins with our salvation
Forever with the Father is our home
Pre-Chorus
The door is always open
The altar's wherever you make it
You're already forgiven
It's never too late
Chorus
Heaven is singing when we come home
The Father's waiting, is there one more?
We lift our hands and say, "Yes, Lord"
Can you hear Him saying, "Welcome home"?

There's only one way to the Father
There's only one way to the Father

Meaning & Inspiration
WELCOME HOME presents salvation through the image of a Father receiving sons and daughters into his house. The open door, offered rest, forgiveness, and celebration all create a picture of return rather than rejection. Its chorus connects coming home with heaven’s joy, while the declaration that Jesus is salvation identifies the basis of that welcome.
The song’s imagery closely resembles Jesus’ parables in Luke 15, where a father receives a returning son and heaven rejoices when a sinner repents. The claim that there is one way to the Father also directly echoes Christ’s words in John 14:6. A further line about becoming a new creation reflects the language of 2 Corinthians 5:17. Together, these themes hold repentance, grace, resurrection, and belonging in one message: through Christ, estrangement gives way to forgiveness and life with the Father.
