Lyrics
How long has it been
Since you felt that feeling of wonder
Like a child wide awake
Counting down on Christmas eve
We’re in such a hurry for life to begin
But do you ever just wish you could go back again
What if I told you the young and the old you
Are not quite as far apart as you might think
Come home, come home, come home
Come home for Christmas
Let your heart return once again
To the joy and the peace
The love and the hope
It’s all right here waiting
For you to come home for Christmas
And come home for good
Turn around
And you’ll see
There’s a light in the window
A star on the tree
Leave the past
At the door
All the years and the tears
Let ‘em fall to the floor
Follow the sound
Of laughter and song
Leading you back to the place
Where you belong
Repeat Chorus
Come home to a manger
Come home to a story that’s still true
Come home to the Savior
Who came down from heaven just for you
How long has it been
Since you and your heart talked to Jesus
