THERE'S A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW
There's a light in the window of heaven,
It is burning for someone tonight,
And the father is watching beside it,
He's keeping it shining and bright,
Oh, don't grieve his heart any longer tonight,
While he is keeping the light shining bright.
While he is watching and waiting to save you,
Won't you come home tonight?
For there's one who has gone from the homeland,
A loved one who strayed from the fold,
On the highways of sin he is wand'ring,
All hungry and tired and cold.
Oh, don't grieve his heart any longer tonight,
While he is keeping the light shining bright.
While he is watching and waiting to save you,
Won't you come home tonight?
There's a love feast all ready and waiting
For the wand'rer in heaven to night,
There's a robe and a ring and a welcome,
In the heavenly mansions so bright.
Oh, don't grieve his heart any longer tonight,
While he is keeping the light shining bright.
While he is watching and waiting to save you,
Won't you come home tonight?
And the Father is watching and longing
For the child who has turned from his love,
And to guide him back home he is keeping
A light in that window above.
Oh' don't grieve his heart any longer tonight,
While he is keeping the light shining bright.
While he is watching and waiting to save you,
Won't you come home tonight?
