Verse 1

How long has it been
Since you felt that feeling of wonder
Like a child wide awake
Counting down on Christmas eve

Pre Chorus 1

We're in such a hurry
For life to begin
Do you ever just wish you
Could go back again
What if I told you
The young and the old you
Are not quite as far
Apart as you might think

Chorus

Come home come home come home
Come home for Christmas
Let your heart return once again

Post Chorus

To the joy and the peace
The love and the hope
It's all right here waiting
For you to come home
For Christmas
And come home for good

Verse 2

Turn around
And you'll see
There's a light in the window
And a star on the tree
Leave the past at the door
All the years and the tears
Let 'em fall to the floor

Pre Chorus 2

Follow the sound
Of laughter and song
Leading you back to the place
Where you always belong

Chorus

Come home come home come home
Come home for Christmas
Let your heart return once again

Post Chorus

To the joy and the peace
The love and the hope
It's all right here waiting
For you to come home
For Christmas
And come home for good

Bridge

Come home to a manger
Come home to a story that's still true
Come home to a Savior
Who came down from Heaven just for you

Verse 3

How long has it been
Since you and your heart talked to Jesus

Chorus

Come home come home come home
Come home for Christmas
Let your heart return once again

Post Chorus

To the joy and the peace
The love and the hope
It's all right here waiting
For you to come home
For Christmas
And come home for good
