The one with the excitement for Brian Littrell's Welcome Home



I'm so inspired by Brian Littrell. I'm not ashamed to admit I listened to Backstreet Boys back in the 90s. Almost 13 years later, Brian Littrell (B-Rok, I think was his pretty-boy nick) releases his solo venture, Welcome Home, which debuted at #3 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart a month ago. I'm very excited for Welcome Home to hit local shores; I'll be sure to snap up a copy; the track's now #6 on my personal chart. :)

Here's an acoustic performance of Welcome Home by Brian Littrell on the 700 Club. [Thanks, YouTube.]




WELCOME HOME
Brian Littrell
Off the Provident release Welcome Home

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said "No Way"
But I laid it all down, gave everything
In my head rang the words that my father said

You're never far
I will be where you are
and when you come to me
I will open my arms

Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face.

When I look at you holding my heart
I will give to you all that I have
Son I know there'll be times
You will feel all alone
I will share with you the words my father said

You're never far
I will be where you are
and when you come to me
You can bet I will open my arms

Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face

Said I've been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown
I will never be alone
You will welcome me home

I'll forever be
You will say to me
Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said "No Way"

Brian Littrell is a very good singer. I have been looking through Christian songs to perform locally. When I was looking, I found his song "Hold On." I was drawn to the melody. However; I want to sing a song for God, that has words that couldn't also be used when a guy wants to sing to a girl. This way listeners get the full message as the writer intended. School is still out on my opinion of whether Littrell is just trying to get a corner on the Christian Music market.
