Homesick

Yes, I will slow these down eventually. However, the Holy Spirit doesn't stop filling you up just because you've already written two "blog posts" today. So, I was driving around today trying to find the cheapest gas and trying to also clear my head; when this song came on the radio. I thought to myself, it's God. It can't be anyone else. In recognition of the Chapman family appearing on Larry King Live tonight for a Live interview, and my thoughts at the time this song came on about my own losses, I couldn't think of any other reason but God bringing this song on air. It's titled "Homesick", and it's recorded by Mercy Me. Oh, Father, I am homesick. I'm desperately seeking Your Face.

Homesick

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
