"Homesick"

"Homesick" by: 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

  2. Oh, I just love this song, as far as songs that touch my heart and really say how I feel about the loss of Brian. I know another mom who lost her teenage son in a car wreck, and in a therapy session, when asked where she would want to go if she could go anywhere, she replied...anywhere that Garrett is. The second she said it, I thought of you. I don't think anyone can understand your loss. But I do think these words sum up how I feel and how I long to be with Brian. I choose not to let the devil creep in, in the midst of my grief. I choose to continue to believe, if for no other reason than to be sure I do get to one day be with Brian again. It just isn't the same homesick as missing your mom when you're gone at camp! I pray tonight that God will indeed give you the strength to keep going.
