This song is a universal Welcome Home song...but was inspired by my friend Janet Linden's recovery from cancer. This song is actually a companion song to "Janet's Song". More in the "Story behind the song" section...Hope you enjoy it!

Story behind the song
I actually wrote this song for Janet's return to us after treatment last year and the youth group sang it to her as a surprise the first Sunday she was back. She cried(sorry Janet, but it was a pretty moving moment for all of us!) It was actually written shortly after "Janet's Song" because I felt compelled to write a "closure" song no matter what happened. One one of the best parts of this recording is that Janet wrote and plays the viola solo..."Closure" indeed! Praise God! Another great thing you should know about this song is that one of the guys in the youth group, Ben Welch actually brought his electronic drumset over to my house and recorded the drum performance. ThanX Ben and Janet! You both rock!

Welcome Home Child ©2008 by Andrew Wiest Verse 1 Welcome Home Child There’s a new day dawning The sun is shining and the sky’s so blue Sky’s so blue Sky’s so blue Welcome Home Child There’s a crowd that’s gatherin’ Welcome Home Child This crowd’s for you Crowd’s for you Pre-Chorus With the past behind you And a new day ahead Your friends are here There is no more fear, Oh Chorus Welcome Home Child It’s been a long time coming Welcome home Child We’ve been waitin’ for you Waitin’ for you Waitin’ for you Verse 2 Welcome Home Child We’re all here to greet you Welcome Home Child We’re so glad you’re here Glad you’re here Glad you’re here Welcome Home Child There is Hope here for you Welcome Home Child There is Love here too Dry your tears Dry your tears Pre-Chorus Chorus Bridge Final Chorus(slower) Welcome Home Child May God’s Joy surround you Welcome Home Child May His Peace shine through Peace Shine Through Peace Shine Through Through To You

Just keeps getting better all the time, doesn't it. I do love giving glory to the Lord and praise to those who love Him. This song really tells where your heart is and who is always on your mind. Blessings, John
