He'd seen the stain glass windows, but only from the street.
Where an out-stretched hand was all that got him through.
Sixty years of heartache, addiction and defeat.
That's the only life he really knew.
He'd read their sign a thousand times before,
but when he heard a lady say these words, he walked right through the door.
You are welcome here.
You're precious in his sight.
Whatever you've done wrong,
His love can make it right.
So, leave behind your troubled past,
your guilt and all your fear.
My child, you are welcome here.
Rejected and abandoned by her family and friends,
they couldn't bear the choices she had made.
Trapped by circumstances, her future looking grim.
Searching for a way to ease the pain.
She felt unworthy slipping in the pew.
'til the preacher smiled right back at her and said, "Jesus loves you too."
You are welcome here.
You're precious in his sight.
Whatever you've done wrong,
His love can make it right.
So, leave behind your troubled past,
your guilt and all your fear.
My child, you are welcome here.
It's not just a structure made of wood or brick or stone.
It's the heart of Jesus; He wants you to know.
You are welcome here.
You're precious in his sight.
Whatever you've done wrong,
His love can make it right.
So leave behind your troubled past,
your guilt and all your fear.
My child... {sustain}
You have favor.
You are valued and adored.
In His kingdom, there is always room for more.
