It Is Good to Be Home With YouVerses:Gracious God, through Jesus You have made us Your own;You welcome us into Your presence.You have given us a room in Your house.We cry, Abba, Father, O Lord.

Gracious God, in Christ we are but one family,We are grafted onto Your vine.We are a part of each other and part of You.We cry, Abba, Father, O Lord.

Gracious Lord, in Jesus we are never alone.Through Your Son we are brought to You.You have claimed us as Your very own.We cry Abba, Father, O Lord.

Refrain (appears after verse 2 and verse 3)You have adopted us as Your children.It is good to be home with You,With many sisters and many brothers, And with love that is ever true.

– Herb Frombach(Based on Galatians)
