"Homesick" song by MercyMe

If you have been reading our blog for awhile, you know that Christian music really touches our heart, especially when it hits the right cords of what we are going through. Several weeks ago a friend encouraged me to listen to this song, and though I could not get it to come up on the computer, for some "funny reason" after that, we kept hearing it on the Christian radio station. Another blog that I read also shared this song, and thought I'd share it with our readers too. If you have loved ones in heaven, you will understand why this song touches us. And too, I think it touches on that ache in our hearts - it doesn't go away.

"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 goodbyes
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.
