14 Years

It's been 14 years since the day I lost my Grandma Underhill. She died unexpectedly, way too young. The world is darker, somehow, without her in it. Everyday I miss her. And everyday I dream about what it will be like when we are all together again in our eternal home. So for today my song will be one of longing to be home at last with Jesus.

Homesick

~ 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
