lyrics

Verse 1
Our song is of the Son of God,
Who left his home of love and glory,
And in our place he bore disgrace
To write us this adoption story.

So we worship him who came to us,
Resigning pure delight so he could bring
Those without a home to the Father's own:
Welcomed as his daughters and his sons.
Thank you Jesus.

Verse 2
He lived among the broken ones,
With people scarred by hate's rebellion;
A tomb of stone became his home,
So we could know the love of heaven.

So we worship him who lived with us,
Who bore our brokenness so he could bring
Those without a home to the Father's own:
Welcomed as his daughters and his sons.
Thank you Jesus.

Verse 3
The Father's arms are open wide:
Our Saviour's death tore down the curtain.
The lost and scarred no longer barred,
Our home with God secure and certain.

So we worship him who rescued us,
The One who died our death so he could bring
Those without a home to the Father's own:
Welcomed as his daughters and his sons.
Thank you Jesus.

Verse 4
Adopted now, our lives secure
In Jesus Christ, our elder brother,
We boldly live and gladly give
Our hearts and homes to welcome others.

So we worship him who lives in us
O give us hearts of love that long to bring
Those without a home to the Father's own
Welcomed as his daughters and his sons
Thank you Jesus
