friday i found out we lost one of the best people in our church. brother laurence. he was just always there in everything and with a smile. every sunday it was "how you doin cuz?" and a kiss. every sunday. every time i saw him. never seen the man frown. not once. so here's a mercy me song just for him.
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 because 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
because i'm stillhere so far away from home
in christ there are no goodbyes
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.
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.
