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

`

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
