"Then again, singing 'Bring Him Home' and then going and doing it himself is kind of a big slap in the face to God and makes the song kind of pointless." I hope you're joking. If not: I really don't think "Bring Him Home" is meant to be taken literally, in the sense that Valjean is asking God to bring Marius home to his house. Rather, he's praying for Marius not to be killed in battle, and "bring him home" is just the expression he uses.
