Homesick

"Homesick" By: MercyMe

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

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

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

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

This song really makes me think about my mom. I miss her so much and everyday gets a little easier and a little harder to deal with... I know that is a total contradiction, but it makes sense, trust me. I really miss her. "If homes where my heart is then I'm out of place..." I am so out of place in this world. All Christians are. I DO need the Lord's strength to make it through this... He is my Rock.

"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal."

--Isaiah 26:4

Trusting in the Lord's promises!! :)
