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

James: my "twin"! We always celebrated birthdays together. And played with Lego! I know you don't remember the Mickey Mouse cake we had one year when I was 4 years old and you were 2 but that's the one I remember the most. I bought your mom a pretty "feel better card".
Nathan, you'd throw erasers at me in Sunday School but you were never as mean or as childish as the others. You've got quite a fan club on Facebook going.
Like it says in the song, in Christ, there is no end.
I'll see you guys again someday...but also praying that there'll be no erasers in heaven.
