Homesick

I've had this song running through my head.  Dad's going home is still new and fresh.  I miss him. A lot.  I know it will get "easier."  I know I will see him again.  I'm hoping that it will be a long time until then so I think the homesickness is something I'll get used too....

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 goodbye 

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
