home sick

[sadheart]

I heard this song again today and it has been a blessing to me. I know it can be hard around the holidays for those of us who have lost loved ones, and when I hear this song I think of my husband that is in Heaven. The words are as follows, and I hope it will help someone.

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 because 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.
Because I'm still here so far away from home.
In Christ there are no goodbyes.
In Christ there is no end.
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have.
To see you again.

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.


God Bless You
Christine

Yes! As soon as I saw your post title, I had that song in my head! I'm often singing that song to myself, and I had planned to have it as the processional music for my dh's funeral. But they miscommunicated and I got I Can Only Imagine instead.
Thanks for sharing it. Yes; a lot of lines from that song ring true for me. Hugs to you.

Thanks for the song, Christine! I've never heard it before, but the words are so beautiful and got my tears rolling down my cheeks beautifully!! Do you know where I can get the rhythm of it? You tube, probably?

Thanks again, God bless ...
