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.
I cannot hear, or even simply think of, that song without tears coming...even if they don't always make it all the way to my eyes. I know you understand what I mean by that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the lyrics. They can't be spread too wide.
I came over here from Jeff's. That song touches me in a way that few have...good stuff. And good blog too.
