Verse 1

Lately I’ve been yearnin’ for home
But my heart has already gone
With each step that I take, I feel one step away
From walking through the pearly gates
Soon He’ll call announcin’ my entrance
And I’ll go without delay
For I long just to bow in His presence
And hear my Redeemer say

Chorus

Welcome to heaven my child
Welcome to heaven, my child;
you have run the race
You have kept the faith,
welcome to heaven, my child

Verse 2

Jasper walls, golden streets, mansions bright
And crystal rivers will sparkle with light
Heaven’s beauties we’ll share
But they’ll never compare to the moment
He welcomes me there
Glory’s angels will all step aside
When He greets me with arms open wide
He’ll step down from His throne
just for me alone,
Face to face He’ll welcome me home

Chorus

Welcome to heaven my child
Welcome to heaven, my child;
you have run the race
You have kept the faith,
welcome to heaven, my child

You have run the race
You have kept the faith,
welcome to heaven, my child.
