Lyrics
Praise Homecomings
Verse 1
The calendar says December 25, the stockings are filled, the tree is brightly lit
The mistletoe waits to witness a kiss hello
I found our favorite wine we loved on our last date.
I bought a red dress, you?ll love it, I can?t wait.
Everything ?s done; all I need is you to come home.
Chorus:
Praise Homecomings, Praise hearts longing
God Speed the lover who?s finding his way home.
Praise those who wait alone and trust
Praise those who bring them home to us
God bless the lovers who wait, to celebrate.
Verse 2
The winter sky dawns on the 26th, the kitten is playing in our unopened gifts.
The table?s still set for dinner for two,
But I?m not feeling sad, we?ve been through this before,
The holiday starts when you?re at the door
I promised you I?d wait a day, a week, a year or more.
Chorus:
Bridge:
In a perfect world, there?d be no wars to fight.
Those who were ill would be healed by Christmas night.
Buildings could never burn, lost souls would return
And those who serve others, would be home with their lovers on Christmas night
Chorus
??I celebrate you home.
