Verse 1
Maybe you have thought you never had a Father
Maybe you have left the only one you knew
Maybe you forgot His care and His provision
He has not forgotten you (Isa. 49:14-16)
You are not a stranger (Eph. 2:19)
You are not an orphan (Ps. 68:5, John 14:18)
You are His child (Eph. 1:5, Rom. 8:15-16, I John 3:1, John 1:12, Gal. 4:6-7)
Chorus
And every child’s chair is waiting at the table (Luke 15:27, Luke 15:30-32)
For every child there, and every child that roams
The welcome light is on; the door is standing open
Every child is welcome home (Luke 15:22-24)
Verse 2
All the nights you watched the city on a hilltop (Matt. 5:14)
All the nights you wished you never walked away (Luke 15:17)
Every night your Father watched the darkest valley (Luke 15:20, Ps. 23:4)
Till the night you heard Him say
You are not a stranger (Eph. 2:19)
You are not an orphan (Ps. 68:5, John 14:18)
You are My child (Luke 15:22-24, Eph. 1:5, Rom. 8:15-16, I John 3:1, John 1:12, Gal. 4:6-7)
