The lyrics of this very song hit closest to the heart.
:'(
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
Homesick by MercyMe.
..btw, I think i've gotten really good at masking random tears that decide to grace me oh.so.often.
:( this song made me cry.
ReplyDeletei went to see my grandma ystd and she looks so frail. she's been v weak lately and her health has deteriorated fast in the last couple of weeks.
before i left, i took a few good looks at her not knowing when will be the last.
While we weren't that close, I cant imagine what it will be like for my dad the only parent he's got left.
