Story Behind The Song
As my husband was sitting in hospice with his mother, he said he had to put his head on her chest to see if her heart was still beating. This song is about the hard place of preparing for the death of a loved one, and the sorrow of them dying and clinging to hope that they are in heaven.

Lyrics
Welcome Home
Verse 1:
I couldn't hear your heartbeat anymore
Or feel your breath whispering my name
I'll never see the glimmer in your eyes
In this hard place
You leave me hear with treasured memories
But hope that we will meet again one day
'Cause when you left this earth, you had a smile (and)
God sent his Grace
Chorus:
I say goodbye, can't help but cry, I say goodbye
But the Angels Sing Hello
I say goodbye, can't help buy cry, I say goodbye
When Angels Sing "Welcome Home"
They shout and sing "Welcome Home"
The Angels Sing "Welcome Home"
Verse 2:
You hear the voice of Jesus call your name
Watch the heavens open in the light
The hand of God is reaching out in love
'Cause it's your time
So let go of this world and sing for joy
Join the choir of angels with delight
Dance with every star and celebrate
Eternal life
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
