Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're in a better place
I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times
I've rejoiced for you
[Verse 2]
But the reason why I'm broken
The reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
[Verse 5]
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
'Cause I'm still here so far away from home
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I've never been more homesick than now
