Where were you when the times were hard
Where were you that day
Where were you when no hope was found
Where were you in faith

And you heard come home dear son
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away
And you heard come home dear child
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away

Where were you when the lord came around
Where were you that day
Where were you when the light shined down
On that darkest day
And you heard come home dear son
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away
And you heard come home dear child
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away

Where were you when the hurt came around
Where were you in pain
Where were you when my saviours blood
Washed my sins away

And you heard come home dear child
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away
And you heard come home dear child
Come home dear boy
Your time is slipping away
