Homesick

Homesick by Mercy Me

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 shomehow

I've never been more homesick than now



I am feeling homesick right now. Not just for Missouri, but for the life I had there, the life I shared with my best friend and her two amazing kids. I miss them so much sometimes that life feels so hopeless. I miss our roadtrips, I miss our drunken nights, I miss our shopping trips, I miss our paranormal investigating team, I miss the ghost that resided at her house, I miss sharing books with her son and cuddling with Chunk when she fell asleep in my arms. I miss who I was when they were around.
