You know I had my doubts

I thought the fire went out

But the old winds are blowing, blowing again (come on!)

You know I lost my way

And I′m sure I will again someday

But there's a whisper calling, calling again (sing it out!)

This is the sound of a child coming home

Hallelujah

This is the song of a welcome prodigal

Hallelujah

I thought I was too far gone

But You always leave the light on

Praise God, praise God, praise God

I′m coming home

Thought I was miles away

Somehow my vision changed

You've been with me, with me all along

Took me a long, long time

To finally realize

You never ever, ever, ever shut the door

This is the sound of a child coming home

Hallelujah

This is the song of a welcome prodigal

Hallelujah

I thought I was too far gone

But You always leave the light on

Praise God, praise God, praise God

For those who are afraid to come

There is no fear in perfect love

For those who don't know where to start

He always meets us where we are

For those with just a little faith

A little faith is all it takes

He′s calling, He′s calling

If you got caught up in religion's game

Then let Him show you the real thing

For the skeptic still in search of truth

He′ll bring that child out of you

O, what are you still waiting for

He's standing at an open door

He′s calling, He's calling

This is the sound of a child coming home

Hallelujah

This is the song of a welcome prodigal

Hallelujah

This is the sound of a child coming home

Hallelujah

This is the song of a welcome prodigal

Hallelujah

I thought I was too far gone

But You always leave the light on

Praise God, praise God, praise God in Heav′n

Praise God, praise God, praise God

I'm coming home
