He'd seen the stain glass windows, but only from the street
Where an outstretched hand was all that got him through
Sixty years of heartache, addiction and defeat
See that's the only life he really knew
He'd read that sign a thousand times before
But when he heard the lady speak these words, he walked right through the door

You are welcome here; you are precious in His sight
Whatever you've donе wrong, His love can make it right
So leavе behind your troubled past, your guilt, and all your fear
My child, you are welcome here

Rejected and abandoned by her family and her friends
They couldn't bear the choices she had made
Trapped by circumstances, her future looking grim
She was searching for a way to ease the pain
She felt unworthy slipping in the pew
'Till the preacher smiled right back at her and said, "Jesus loves you too"

You are welcome here; you are 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 the structure made of wood or brick or stone
It's the heart of Jesus, and He wants you to know
You are welcome here; you are 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 have favor, you are valued and adored)
My child (in His kingdom, there is always room for more)
My child, you are welcome here
