A Song for Julie...for Anna...and for all the new college students

[dead_sexy05]

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 on to 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
