We need more Petersen families in this world.

[@marywagner5673]

I totally agree ❤

[@hansstrouf]

Ouais et de le famille Franz, Katie aime la famille Franz

[@dereklupton5259]

Katie Petersen, one of the World's most talented and inspiring women. Simply a beautiful song from a beautiful soul.

[@swampydouglasobannon8804]

Momma and Daddy did a good job with these kid's I'm impressed

[@ricardol.leonekulaif4531]

I make your words my own ...

[@glennericksenmusic]

Yes........these 'kids' are really special people for they have a heart for the LORD. This song beautifully conveys the love of God for us sinners to 'finally come home'.

[@bakerstreet101]

I want to see Daddy along with Mama to see where these beautiful young adults came from.

[@Landsersajer]

I’m a year late I guess,, just heard about this family and I am in awe!! Yes the parents of these angels must be proud and deserve every blessing... all there songs soothe my heart

[@peugeny]

​@@Landsersajer our literature teacher - told us in school story abbout Solomon, that one family asked -- "When we have to start ubringing, educate our child" -> king asked - "How old your child?" - "I year old" - "You late for one year"

[@buckgump1163]

Katie your voice is like angels singing this is such a beautiful song

[@aaronfisher3003]

I love how comfortable Ellen appears to be when she shares about Jesus. We should be - its why we're here.

[@kevinwiens4804]

she has a personal relationship it's true!

[@TheVoiceofKevinC]

I'm working on it. Hey now someone can say doing a cover by the " Peterson's"

[@ЮлияЛасковая]

How I can find lyrics this song? I try study English, and now I can't understand many words, maybe some people can write lyrics there? The song sounds so great =)

[@Liz.Newton]

*LYRICS - Finally Going Home (Katie and Matt original)* ------------ I've been alone for many years Fighting this world all by myself No one cares about my tears Or the agonies I've felt I turned my back on loving arms Took no precaution in my flight But the only place it's led me Is into the cold black night Well I used to have a home A place where Sacred Love was kept But I threw it all away For a dream that turned to debt Now there's no way to pay my toll No going back to change my life The only thing I can do now Is to return and forfeit pride So I'm finally going Home I've been travelin' so long It's been a long and weary journey But I know where I belong And I'm pleadin' for forgiveness For I know that I've done wrong I took a turn down sinners' highway But I'm finally, finally going Home And now I'm sufferin' for my sins For when I finally returned I'd been deserted once again But at that moment I then learned... Lord they are gone, I am not lost For I have found Eternal Love My Savior died upon the cross And I will meet Him up above And now I'm finally going Home I've been travelin' so long It's been a long and weary journey But I know where I belong And I'm pleadin' for forgiveness For I know that I've done wrong I took a turn down sinners' highway But I'm finally...

[@ЮлияЛасковая]

@@Liz.Newton I'm so thankful =)

[@Liz.Newton]

@@ЮлияЛасковая You’re welcome! I’m hoping they do an official video soon, it’s one of my favourites. Have you seen The Petersens’ channel? If you scroll through the top comments on each video, you’ll find a comment from me with the lyrics. And you can turn on captions :)

[@williamlipsett5772]

Christian and talented , you've all got it perfect

[@cindyjean3208]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!! Love this family... may God richly bless each one of them!!

[@Kioti-uq4ju]

I am late to the party but I have to say this is one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard. It doesn't sound as much like an original song but more like a classic from the past. Kudos to Katie and Matt.

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

Well, it IS a classic. A Petersen classic. The first official song they ever wrote. And I totally agree with you, the melody line is very very pretty. Certainly one for a future Greatest Hits album. :)

[@GGg-ug3jr]

Oh boy. 7 in the morning I'm drinking my coffee getting ready for work and you all have me in full body Goosebumps with eyeballs so welled up the surface tension of tears are about to break, so i had to press pause. I'm going to have to finish this one later. I've been playing guitar and writing songs for 25 years and I will say this song is a masterpiece.

[@ckquarter]

I appreciate your stand for Christ. In this dark world, your family is surely a light! Thank you so much!

[@jzac5248]

Don’t let the actions of a few darken your world. Although this band is a great light, light is found all over the world.

[@TheVoiceofKevinC]

You Nailed it. THEY ARE. !!! The Spirit of The MOST HIGH. Is with The Peterson's+ Emmett.

[@buckgump1163]

I couldn’t have said it better

[@p.dejong4160]

I appreciate your words.. thank you

[@bdm1000]

It's hard to pick one, but I think this is my favorite song from The Petersens, and that's saying something because they have so many great ones in my opinion (both covers and originals). Maybe that will change over time, but this one is just so beautifully written, played and sung (especially on the album). The violinist has such a sweet & delicate voice generally which contrasts well with her powerful and often fiery violin playing. It really sounds great. They're all great.

[@glennericksenmusic]

Great job! Such an awesome song! God allows 'U turns" and we can return to Him! The prodigal son came to his senses and he decided to go home to his father. His father was watching and waiting for him. His father ran to him while he was still a long ways off. He kissed him and put a ring on his finger and had a huge celebration! That is what God does for us too!

[@waynelewis881]

There are no words to express the beauty of this music. Katie and Matt, you’ve created a masterpiece!

[@Landsersajer]

Dude this just struck me right in the heart... I’ve cried twice in my life... when I was born and after this song

[@jimmiller1543]

I take exception with the one negative comment that I have seen on this video. I have only been following this group for about 10 days, but I find them to be very talented, honest, engaging, and a blessing for the ears and soul. I look forward to acquiring some of their albums.

[@ScottJ5860]

I've been following them for about 2 hours and I agree with you. Haters are gonna hate, nothing we can do about it.

[@timsmith1049]

They are Amazing

[@mitchel9431]

I'm an atheist and I love their music.

[@glennericksenmusic]

@@mitchel9431 God still believes in you. He loves you and made you!

[@lesb_socal]

Ya gotta realize not everyone likes beautiful music delivered with love.

[@lesprice7157]

Katie is a fabulous singer, songwriter , fiddle player and a great personality .

[@markeydavid7532]

Talent coupled with reverence to God. There is hope for America

[@kathydixon5743]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It is so encouraging to see young adults write a song with such a great message! Their parents have done well in raising them in a Christian home & have them continue in a Christian life.

[@buckgump1163]

This is a absolute beautiful song and has such a powerful meaning

[@RollBluesRoll]

Oh this is awesome! The song deserves to be in some big, successful movie!

[@koevirel8350]

It describes my life

[@koevirel8350]

Thank u guys helping me find a way. It was so dark then this song like a light helped me find a way and it is so good seeing sun again after it seems like a centuries of night.

[@bdm1000]

We've gotta get a version of this amazing song with the dobro.

[@bdm1000]

Now that I've had a chance to listen to all their songs, they all have wonderful voices (the men too). The girls are all incredible in their own right, and Katie's voice is especially beautiful in this song (especially the album version).

[@billfisher3266]

I want to give credit to Mr and Mrs Petersen for doing such a fine job raising a family of tight loving togetherness. In this world in these days it's rare to see siblings interacting with each other and getting along so well. It's obvious like I used to hear growing up that a family that prays together, stays together. You guys a model family! So I never hear anything about the father...?

[@robertsmyth4998]

bill fisher , on their KZbin channel , More Than A Name On A Wall posted 9th nov ,2017 Katie mentions dad in the intro, it’s the very best version of this beautiful song☘️☘️☘️

[@kevinshares1651]

Their dad retired from a career in the Air Force, which as also having served in the military (Army) I saw how hard that can be on raising a family. This is what makes this family even more exceptional as far as role models are concerned!

[@donnisler8033]

Jon Petersen is a Physician in Branson. The Petersen’s are not only accomplished musicians, but have strong educational backgrounds. Great role models.

[@snoopyismydog5695]

the beauty is not just on the outside

I've yet to find a song I don't like. 💐🌸🌺🌷🌻🌹🌼

[@lawrencejump7391]

WOW . Such a beautiful and GODLY Family.

[@hein7kz]

I am impressed by the bravery of this family of confessing their faith publicly. Keep on going! This is the way to go!

[@chrisozzy56]

A family that has their priorities in the right place - God , our Savior , at the top of the list . Katie has such an amazing voice and her smile can melt the hardest heart . Stay true to your convictions and the Lord will open many doors for you. God bless you all .

[@danielparker9065]

Wow, I didn't know it was an original. I like it even more now. I need to get back to Branson to see you guys again.

Wow, I can't believe I have tears running down my face... was not expecting that, but thank you...

[@beta2block]

Oh man, Ellen. Thanks for that opening statement. I needed that today.

I agree from Spain, it doesn't matter if we are protestants or catholics, our Lord is the same.

[@nealguentzel2458]

Katie is so incredibly talented as a composer, singer and musician. I love this early song written by her and Matt, with beautiful harmony from Ellen. And so neat to see young Julianne playing the violin!

[@sunnyphillips6508]

Love your music and now I witness your love for God. Bless you all and may He always keep you.

Would your family consider having Jullianne sing ( You Say)? By lauren daigle

[@leesawdust]

Any one of the Petersen girls could do it and it would be great!

[@สุรพลสถิตนิลรัตน์]

From Thailand like to watch your band..Keep your band safe from Covid-19.

I barely breathed until the song ended.

[@TheVoiceofKevinC]

Ellen's voice in the back sounds like Angels. Can't wait to see what's next!!

[@RobYoung]

This group has a really nice sound. Another wonderful example of significantly underrated talent one can find here on KZbin.

[@gianfrancoperticone7373]

Every time I hear the songs of Katie, I'm sure Someone walks beside her, and that powerful words are real for all the people who walks during that strange, difficult times, catholic or protestants both. Greetings from Italy, from a catholic Petersen's friend not a fun. Ciao.

Thank You. I've just sold my little ranch in Missouri, my cattle, tractors & left a ministry to retire to Tennessee. My old Border collie work partner just died. I've just had a stroke & my wife has stage three lung cancer. I am pastoring a small church but my heart is a little bent right now. This song is a blessing. I'm an old days radio announcer & I can pick talent. I ask that ya'll keep it family and keep it fun. Life is so short, so enjoy it as much as you can.
