Homesick

I’m so homesick homesick for my Savior 

Or he’s gone to prepare a place for me 

I want to be with him forever 

When his glorious face at last, I’ll see 

I’m so homesick homesick for heaven 

And his presence forever there to dwell 

I believe that he will return to take me there 

Away from Shadowlands and through the veil 

I’m so homesick home sick for my Jesus 

For his everlasting arms to embrace me 

For all joy resides there in his presence 

There where his loving kindness flows so free 

Bridge

Living here in a world of homesick people

With a longing in their heart they just can’t fill 

Missing the One who could meet  their great desire  

Unwilling to submit to his perfect will

For heaven‘s only heaven, 'cause of Jesus 

Though I’ll love to see the ones who’ve gone before

If my longing is to live for Christ then to die is gain

And to dwell there with my Lord forever more 

I’m so homesick, homesick for my Savior 

For He’s gone to prepare a place for me 

I want to be with him forever 

When his glorious face at last, I’ll see
