Homesick - Mercy Me

Our dear friend Shannon Okesson left her earth-suit to be with her Lord and King on Friday, the 29th of June. Jenny and I are better individuals and have a stronger marriage for having the privilege of sharing life with Shannon. We rejoice that she is celebrating and in the presence of Majesty - but it really, really hurts knowing how sorely we will miss her.


I'd never really listened to the words of this song until Friday night when Jenny played it during a precious time of mourning, grieving over the temporary, painful loss of someone so incredibly precious.

Mercy Me - Homesick

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
