Come in old friend, sit back and rest,
For you look tired and torn, I must confess.
Relax here by the fire, let the warmth embrace,
Cherish this calming time, it's your rightful place.
Your journey must have been long, a winding road so wide,
But each mile was worth it with the Lord as your guide.
For the love of God has watched over you,
Every moment, every trial, every dream that you pursued.
Welcome Home, my old friend,
This is where the love won't end.
You've traveled far, but now you're here,
With open arms and shedding tears.
The stories you've shared, oh, they make us smile,
So take a breath and stay a while.
The folks here have missed you, it's plain to see,
Your laughter and kindness, what a gift they can be.
Like the love of a child, so pure and so bright,
You've been a true blessing, a guiding light.
Put your feet up by the fire, let it warm your bones,
Feel the angels hold you, shelter from the moans.
The cold of the night can't reach your heart,
For the Lord's gentle light will never depart.
Welcome Home, my old friend,
This is where the love won't end.
You've traveled far, but now you're here,
With open arms and shedding tears.
The stories you've shared, oh, they make us smile,
So take a breath and stay a while.
Just know, in the darkest nights, you were never lost,
Jesus walked beside you, no matter the cost.
When you felt alone, you were held in grace,
Guided by love in every space.
So please understand, as you rest your head,
You've always been safe, no need for dread.
Welcome Home, my old friend,
This is where the love won't end.

So sit back, relax, let the memories flow,
We celebrate you, your heart, and your soul.
For the journey may be long, but it brings you back,
To a home filled with love, where nothing feels lack.
Welcome Home, my old friend,
In this place, your heart will mend.
