For those interested, here is a photo of the author and composer of this wonderful song.
This jewel of a contemporary christian song was written and composed by Ms. Kathy Brigman Haupt in the early 1980's for her grandmother's memorial service. (She very slightly revised it in 1989 when she recorded it with David on her way to sing it at David's mother's memorial, Kathy's great aunt. The version of words and melody used on this recording are from her 1989 slight revision.)
Until now, her simple, solo folk version has only been heard by a few on the occassions she performed it for family memorials. Happily, she granted TortoiseClimbing Audio™ permission for David to create an arrangement and record this version of her song on the album, Hymns and Songs of My Mother, as one of the favorites of his mother selected for that album. Because this is the only Contemporary Christian Music song on the album, it is also offered here as a single for digital download for the possibly larger community not particularly interested in the dominant nostalgic hymns on that album selected from my parents favorites.
Very special thanks to Ms. Kathy Brigman Haupt for granting permission to TortoiseClimbing Audio™ to create this arrangement and recording of this wonderfully expressive song.

Welcome home. I have waited such a long, long time,
To hold you in my arms, and let you see my glory.
Your job on earth is through. I’m so very proud of you.
So welcome home my servant, welcome home.
And you’ll hear him say,
Welcome home. I have waited such a long, long time,
To hold you in my arms, and let you see my glory.
Your job on earth is through. I’m so very proud of you.
So welcome home my servant, welcome home.
