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
