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
Oh Valerie. I am just reading about precious Julia going home to be with Jesus. I have been out of town for two days...and JUST got back, put the kids to bed and ran to the computer to look on your blog. I am grieving with you ~ just sick with pain for you and Bob and Mattie and your whole family. I will be there on Saturday. Valerie ~ please know that I will continue to pray and pray and pray.....
ReplyDeleteLove and comfort and peace....in the midst of your unfathomable pain... that's what I'm asking the Father for ~ for you all. Jenny Fitzgerald
