[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I'll be home for Christmas
Has played a thousand times
And that's just in the first week of December
Every time she hears it
She does her best not to cry
'Cause it's hard not to remember
The choices that she made
And all the heartaches and the pain
Wondering if she could go back now
After all of her mistakes
[Chorus]
Lord, I wanna know if the door is still open
Would You let me know if the light is still on
I just wanna know if I'll be home for Christmas
It's so much more than a song (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
The music drew her in
It seemed like the thing to do
Christmas Eve in a church she'd never been to
As the choir sang "Silent Night"
The preacher said, "Do ya need to get it right?"
"It's a good time now for you to come back home"
She fell down on her knees
As the sweetest kind of peace
Welcomes her back, heart and soul
And she began to sing
[Chorus]
I wanna thank You, Lord that the door is always open
I wanna thank You, Lord that the light is always on
And now I know for sure that I'll be home for Christmas, oh, oh
It's so much more than a song, oh
[Bridge]
For anybody else that's feeling
That you can't go home again
I'll tell you like that preacher said
"It's time to move back in"
[Chorus]
I can say for sure that the door is always open
I can say for sure that the light is still on
And I now I know for sure that I'll be home for Christmas
It's so much more than a song
It's so much more than a song
And every prodigal is always welcome home
Always welcome home
