Well, you're down

'Cause you couldn't help giving in

You think you've failed everyone you know

You think the Father will reject you

But, oh, friend, now don't you know

That He's always waiting with open arms

Always reaching out to you

He's always ready to take you in

Don't you know He still loves you?

Oh, there's nothing you can say nor you can do

That will ever keep His love away from you

Just leave your past and come on home

Because He's always waiting with open arms

(Open arms, come to Me)

He's waiting with open arms

(Open arms, come to Mе)

You say you'll never return

You think Hе'll turn his back on you

If you try to come home

But He says, "Son, I've got a feast prepared

Bring out the rings and the robes

'Cause My son has come home"

He's always waiting with open arms

Always reaching out to you

Hey, yeah, always ready to take you in

Don't you know He still loves you?

Oh, there's nothing you can say nor you can do

That will ever keep His love away from you

Just leave your past and come on home

Because He's always waiting with open arms

Ooh-ooh...

Oh, there's nothing you can say nor you can do

That will ever keep His love away from you

Just leave your past and come on home

Because He's always waiting

Oh, there's nothing you can say nor you can do

That will ever keep His love away from you

Just leave your past and come on home

Because He's always waiting with open arms

(Open arms, come to Me)

He's waiting with open arms

(Open arms, come to Me...)
