Homesick...

All day long I have had these thoughts and this song running through my head.

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

(Chorus)
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
(Chorus)

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now.

-Oh how I long for the day that I can go home to be with my Father in Heaven, and with His Son, Jesus Christ. I've never been more homesick than now.

Thank you for this Chris.

I think it would be odd for us not to be homesick to be with the Father. We will be with Him soon, but there is still so much work to do.

Good word!

Randomly scrolling and i came across this post. I had a friend VERY unexpectedly pass away recently and it has devestated his new wife and his family. I sent this Mercy Me cd through a friend of mine to his sister b/c i knew how against religion she is at this time in her life (and not just b/c of losing her brother) I heard that she just listens to it over and over. i dont want to push anything on her but what great power through music our Lord can have. Even if she doesnt realize it now, this song is comforting her, and Him through that. Makes me so thankful to have Him and the chance to share that with someone even if they are at their lowest...
thanks, great post.
