My wife passed away a week ago at the age of 39. I miss her so much but I know she's praising at the feet of Jesus right now. I'm so homesick right now.
So sorry Daniel. May our Savior save you from the brokenheartedness of such a tragic grief. I've been there brother. I truly know exactly how you feel. Don't let anyone ever tell you how to or how long to grieve. The truth is we never really get over it, but by the grace of God we learn to get used to it and to move on. Life is for the living. Take all the time you need, but don't let your grief overwhelm you or overcome you. The Lord never gives us anything more than we can bear. As much as you love and miss your wife and wish she was still here with you, the truth is that she is in such a perfect Paradise in the presence of the Lord that she would not want to come back, even as much as she loves you. But because she loves you so much, she is excitedly waiting for you to come to her and enjoy the glory of the Lord and His Kingdom together with her. Someday you will be together again and never separat for all of eternity. In the meantime, she wants you to be happy and to live your best life for Christ. God bless you and keep you, my brother! Revelation 21:4
God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!
I bawl every time I hear this song. I miss my parents so much. I was diagnosed with breast cancer over 2 years ago. I never feared going Home, but I also knew that God wasn’t finished with me. I’ve been cancer free for 2 yrs this coming April 9th. I’m so blessed to be with my wonderful husband and to have a wonderful son. But I’m also ready whenever Jesus calls me home.
Yes, a high volume of people contract cancer, after a huge loss or a massive stressor in their lives. I'm so glad that the Lord has been merciful to you. I'll meet you one day, in Jehovah God's Kingdom, sister. God bless.
Amen!💞 I lost my only child, Brian 10 yrs ago & it feels like yesterday.1 yr later I lost my Dad & then my Mom 2 days later. Since then I have lost 12 family members,sisters & brothers. It's just myself & my younger brother. To say I miss my family isn't enough, but my son, now that's an ache that never lightens up. I can only function each day because I know I will see them again... God bless, Brian, forever 29💞❤💞
@@esthersilva8230 yes ma’am, I’m doing great! I volunteer with cancer patients now! I still miss my parents very much, but know they’re watching over me. 🩷 (please get your mammogram & encourage others to get theirs too).
I have 6 months , I have Cancer.I am going home . Keeping the faith only god knowing I'll see my family. But I'm leaving my sons s daughter- my grandkids. God give me strength to do this.
God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!
My dad was 62 when he died on 10/14/14. He was survived by my brothers and I, and my mom. My parents had been married for 38 years. On 10/6/15, at almost 64 years old, my mom joined my dad in heaven. Every now and then I think to myself, "The only people who love me that much are gone. No one else is ever going to love me like that. That makes me homesick, and then I listen to this song. God, I miss them.
This song takes on a whole new meaning for me, since I lost my 25-year old son 4.5 months ago, in a sudden, tragic accident. He knew the Lord Jesus, so I know where he is, and I know I'll see him again.
I love this song. Dad went home on the 12th of December and mom joined him on the 15th of January, 33 days later. I’m comforted by the thought that we will be walking the streets of Heaven one day. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
This song always reminds me of my father who passed away 22 years ago and I cry every time I hear it, but my heart rejoices in the knowledge that I will see him and my Lord Jesus Christ one day.
everytime I hear this song I think of my daughter who passed when she was 69days old. I picture her running through a field of daisies and when she looks around I will be there. a moment to God, is like a thousand years to us.
I'm so sorry. I had this played for my wife's funeral in September 2010. I felt a connection long before my wife died and didn't know why, other than I felt like it was my heart longing to be with the Lord. I cry uncontrollably now when I hear it. I've remarried and am blessed to have a wife who loves me unconditionally, and some times I feel guilty because I miss my late wife, but that will never change. When you love someone and you lose them to death, they are with you and in your heart forever.
"Help me Lord because I don't understand your ways." I read these comments and empathize with those who lost family members. I pray my father figures it out before he passes away.
I lost my mother 08/08/18, This song truly hits home. I have never been more homesick than now. I patiently await the day I walk through the gates of heaven and feel her embrace again.
My husband's grandma past away 3 days ago from cancer, and for the last 4 days of her life my husband sat next to her praising Him with her. She's home now. No longer suffering. I'm so glad I got to spend time with her before our 5th baby was born and that she got to meet him and spent his 1st birthday with him before she got sick and passed. We love you grandma, thank you for being there for me when I needed you! You were a true blessing!
I lost my son to depression. He was 21 years old he had so much ahead of him. He was a mental health Tech. He was going to school to be a nurse. I truly believe in my heart that he is in heaven. I know some day that I will see him again. My son's death turned myself ,and my daughter to Christ.
on the day after thanksgiving Jesus came down and told my boyfriend he needed him home with him.. I know he is healed now but I miss him so much.. His plan this Christmas eve was to ask me to marry him... I know one day I will see him again ..
Thanks for sharing this about your parents. I play Homesick every year on the anniversary of my mom's passing. I just played it today October 11, 2023 on the 14th anniversary of her death. I miss her so much but I know she is with me every day.
Just saw my Dad off on his amazing journey homeward this week. In God"s mercy the joy for him filled my heart and still carries me as the grief (Which God also uses for our blessing) works it's way. Now in awe and wonder I am watching in faith and in deed as his plan to redeem my Dad's death for the work of his kingdom transpires. Is that not just like our God, redeem death for life! All praise to Him!!!
My sister passed away in 2015 listening to this song. Tomorrow is her birthday and I'm screaming this song to the tops of my lungs I miss her so much 😭
I'm feeling weird today . I just miss you Lord . I'm homesick . I want to visit you but I still have lots to do in my life . Don't want to kaput yet . But I miss you Lord I love you so much ❤️
I have a friend Daniel Talbert he was like a brother. Showed me to build mental and physical strength at the gym. I heard this song and thought of him and his parents and wife and young daughter. He's a great man and a great father and we all love and miss him we will see him again in heaven one day and will tell him what a blessing and impact he made on my life shake and bake! Love you bro
My beloved Mom passed away on 27th of May this year because of Covid 19, so many guilts crashed down on me, why didn't I call her often, or took her to her favorite restaurant, bought her favorite dresses. I hope Jesus gives me strength to live my life without her. Thank you MercyMe for this wonderful song.
This is the one...I love the words...it says it all. I think we all are homesick and it gets worse the older we get. Love this song and this group of talented musicians.
Stumbled upon this song as I was searching for songs that could minister to my broken heart. Thinking of my dad who passed last November. This is a beautiful song and the lyrics resonate with my heart. And I miss my dad.
Please keep my wife in your prayers. She has myotonic muscular dystrophy. Her mobility and ability to walk has regressed over the past few years. Doctors cannot heal or cure her, but I know God can and will. Please make this a daily prayer request for her. It is hard, some days, to stay positive and to not worry about her situation. I rely on the love of God and the prayers of others to get me through. God Bless and thank you! #CureMyotonicMuscularDystrophy
in christ there is no goodbyes and we will see our family members and friends in heaven I love Jesus and im home sick for my heavenly father and im so homesick
Hallelujah...you Everybody lost someone but how unlucky am I that I am living in pakistan I can't say my prayer on the road it is my wish that I want pray and and say Jesus name with the power of my throat.you are people are so lucky
I lost my dad, grandparents, aunt and cousin who was only 44. I miss all of them so much 😪 😢 😔 😭😭. My heart is broken 💔. I know they are waiting on me when my time comes. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this amazing song!! I lost my mom Feb. 25th, 2022. This song describes it to a tee. Of course I miss other family including my twin sister and Grandparent’s. I feel this for Our God and King!! 😢❤
Missing my Grandma, who passed away in 2016 when I was in Twin Cities on Work assignment for two months. Missed seeing her before she passed as I found out she passed away as I was boarding the plane to go see her. She always had an encouraging Word from the Lord for me and loved me unconditionally. In Christ there are no goodbyes.... I love you Grandma and will see you someday.
I cry every time I hear this. both parents ts,,2 brothers family I loved very much..most my life I've felt I don't belong g .. but God you loved me my home is in you.. I can't wait to hug your neck Lord.& be reunited with those I love and miss..Just to be in your embrase.. ty for helping me threw and loving me..Thank You Abba..🙏🏼
This song was on the radio on my way home the night I got the call that my grandfather died. MercyMe's Finally Home came on while I was driving home from his funeral. The perfect songs at the perfect times. I can't imagine how these artists get through songs like this without losing it.
I lost a friend to brain cancer nearly five years ago . He had his last blood transfusions during the week leading up to Father’s Day. He went home to the father 11 days after Father’s Day. I was mad at God , ran away from his word and worship music for a full year afterwards. Sense then Iv tried my best running back to God but the anniversary’s still make me cry. I do t want to be sad anymore that my friend is in a better place and that I will see him again. But I don’t want to loose his memories if abs when I do decide to move on knowing that’s what he wants me to do. Help me mercy me please
Hey. I know something of what you are going through. 4 years ago, my dad, my best friend, passed. Since then, I've oftentimes cried myself to sleep. It's not wrong to cry and let out your emotions. The Bible has many a verse about that (the one about there being a time for mourning, i.e.). As for being mad at God, well, take it from someone who does it, it does not make anything better. I wish I could help more.
This year will be: 16 years since my grandfather Victorino passed away. 9 years since my grandfather Leonel gone. 2 years since Jaime, my best friend decided to say: see you on the other side. Every farewell was full of sad and pain; but over the years I have been able to accept that they are no longer here, 'cause they still live in my memories everyday. But you my love, my dearest, my heart... this year will be 7 years since you been gone. And I still feel like homesick without you... I still love you Claudio and I miss you a lot every single day honey. I hope for the day when we'll meet again 😔
God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!
15 years and still - this song says it all - how long do I have to wait to see you? But the Lord says in Isaiah 55:8-9 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. So I wait for Him to call me home so I can hug you and Jesus because with out Him we would not see each other again. I will still miss you and cry but .......
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
This song is indescribably wonderful and heartfelt! It's pure as the purest wool & smooth as the smoothest silk!! It more than adequately describes my heart's eternal longing for walking through the gates of heaven, someday when Jesus comes back!!!
This song hits my heart and soul hard every time I hear it. It's so beautiful and so sad at the same time. The part that always gets to me the most is "I've never been more homesick than now" is because I'm homesick for my Heavenly father and loved ones who are in Heaven.
For 11 years I've missed my Daughter Hannah! The Thing that hurts so much is I don't understand why! Thank God! His word is forever settled in Heaven. In that the hope of resurrection! The hope of glory that we'll see each other again.
My sweet baby sister passed away on 01-27-15 listening to this song and today is the first time I've ever been able to listen to this song since the day since she passed away. Kelsy dawn Lilley I miss you more than words can describe!! I need you to give me the strength to make it through somehow. Just until the day I get to walk up to you and wrap you in my arms!!
I lost 3 relatives in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. My cousin, Debbie Bradley who was in her early 30s hung herself in April, my great aunt, Snookie Bradley passed from bone cancer at 86 about a month later, and my other aunt, Vickie Bradley passed in October from breast cancer at age 60. I sang I can only imagine for them and other people I'm hoping to see again someday. All I have now is the hope that they're all being held in the Lord's arms and that they'll be back when He comes back
This song, these words sum up the past 46 or more years since I looked upon my babygirl who died by cord wrapping around her neck before delivery. Pulled my heart out my chest yet Is. 41:10 lingers I'm my heart/mind KNOWING Jesus did and is doing EXSCTLY what He says in that verse. Seek Him... Trust Him you will NOT be ashamed.
I'm not much on Bible stuff but the song has always resonated with me about missing someone who has passed. As a kid going to a random concert in ft Smith to a kid missing the yesteryear
THANK YOU LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IN JESUS NAME FOR BEING THERE TO SEND US A COMFORTER TO HELP US GET THRU OUR TIMES OF TROUBLE ,ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND AMEN!!!
Isabella, good morning. My name is Donald Mayer and I live in Coplay, Pennsylvania. I have a strong feeling you've gone through much sorrow in your lifetime. Please let me comfort you by telling you I truly truly understand how you feel. For one thing, my wife died in December of 2016. We were married 28 years. I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. For another thing, I just received word one of our church members passed away last night. Isabella, this young woman leaves behind a husband and several young children. I'm sure you know death can be extremely hard to take. We must remember those who die in the Lord are now home with our Lord in Heaven where there is no more sickness or pain. Listen, you might want to listen to Michael Card sing New Jerusalem. If you want to communicate with me, I will be glad to read what you have to say. Isabella, I really want you to know what you suffer I suffer. What you feel I feel. Take care of yourself!
We just lost our 15 yr old son, 2 months ago on Jan 16th, 2022. Miss him so much. 💔 I feel every lyric of this song "i close my eyes and see your face, if homes where my heart is then im of out place...."
I can't think of a better place but to be in the presence of our King...I'm so ready to be home, but until my last breath I'll proclaim my testimony of Jesus Christ...nothing can ever take His place in my heart. Truly a friend that sticks closer than a brother!
I miss all my family in Heaven, My Grandparents, Parents, Sister and brothers, Aunt's and Uncles, but more than missing them, I am homesick for my only Daughter. My heart will never heal until I go Home to be with her 🕊️
I lost my dad first then not long after that my first born at 25 3 days before Christmas and I went through breast cancer it has been in remission for 17 years and I have 2 beautiful grandchildren that I luv very much and I am waiting my turn to go home I can watch over them from heaven
I'm homesick for my family - I lost my 3 brothers my mom my baby sister along with my daughter this year- I'm out of place !! I'm hanging on but I'm longing ... I'm really home sick all I want is to be with my life... I miss you all . I hold onto god and someday I'll be home because of Jesus ..
I had 3 sisters. two living in Indonesia, one in the US and I live in Australia. Last time we're all together was 8 years ago and we just lost our mum last year, she died from covid and that brings 4 of us even closer to each other more and I just told God that I felt homesick and He show me this song by MercyMe. What a beautiful song. *Sorry for my english 🙏
Homesick - MercyMe / Lyrics 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 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
I heard this song and thought of my best friend Daniel Talbert he's in heaven now and like he said we will have rocking chairs in heaven telling our stories of the past on the front porch in heaven he introduced me to the gym god came into my life and I might have got there earlier myself if it hadn't been for him and god both. Love you both and thanks for giving me the strength to be the man I am today shake and bake!

My family and I love this song so much. My church members have been supporting me and I miss going to church so bad they calm me down because my grandfather James was suffering from cancer. He is in a better place
I Love This ... I Lost My Daughter in 2016 And I Lost My Son, An 8-Year Veteran, In 2018 . Both Were 37 At The Time Of Their Death. I Can't Wait To See Them Both In Heaven.
My wife passed away a week ago at the age of 39. I miss her so much but I know she's praising at the feet of Jesus right now. I'm so homesick right now.
I will be praying for you man!
I do sorry for your loss
Daniel, I am praying for you. That has to be so incredibly hard. My Jesus hold you near as you walk this heartbreaking journey. 🙏🕊️

My son Joseph passed away in 2021 at the age of 29. He is with Jesus. I know this but I miss him everyday.
I lost my son Oct 19th 2019 (2007-2019). I miss you Elijah! Can't wait to see you again! 😭❤😘 love you always.
Thank you 😭
Thank Heavens for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
My dad was 62 when he died on 10/14/14. He was survived by my brothers and I, and my mom. My parents had been married for 38 years. On 10/6/15, at almost 64 years old, my mom joined my dad in heaven. Every now and then I think to myself, "The only people who love me that much are gone. No one else is ever going to love me like that. That makes me homesick, and then I listen to this song. God, I miss them.
"Homesick" is exactly how I felt when my mom passed. And "I can only imagine" the glory that replaced this world. Praise be.
This song takes on a whole new meaning for me, since I lost my 25-year old son 4.5 months ago, in a sudden, tragic accident. He knew the Lord Jesus, so I know where he is, and I know I'll see him again.
Crying and thinking of my daughter Jennifer.29, went home 4 mo ago...thank god we have the hope of being reunited someday.
hang in there, will be praying for that joyous reunion.
Praying for you
GodBlessYou
God bless you right now where you are!
I love this song. Dad went home on the 12th of December and mom joined him on the 15th of January, 33 days later. I’m comforted by the thought that we will be walking the streets of Heaven one day. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

I lost my husband to tragic car accident we never imagined that was our last day together. I’m so ready to go home.
This song always reminds me of my father who passed away 22 years ago and I cry every time I hear it, but my heart rejoices in the knowledge that I will see him and my Lord Jesus Christ one day.
"I'll hold on to Jesus, with all that i have, to see you again" ❤❤❤
everytime I hear this song I think of my daughter who passed when she was 69days old. I picture her running through a field of daisies and when she looks around I will be there.
a moment to God, is like a thousand years to us.
My niece sang this at my moms funeral yesterday. I love you mom and I can hardly wait to see you again. I miss you so much already.
God Bless you folks ^^
I'm so sorry. I had this played for my wife's funeral in September 2010. I felt a connection long before my wife died and didn't know why, other than I felt like it was my heart longing to be with the Lord. I cry uncontrollably now when I hear it.
I've remarried and am blessed to have a wife who loves me unconditionally, and some times I feel guilty because I miss my late wife, but that will never change. When you love someone and you lose them to death, they are with you and in your heart forever.

My daughter passed away 3 weeks ago. We plan to play this song at the celebration of life. This band has created amazing music.
😢😢 I'm so sorry 😢
lord give you strength 💔
I am so sorry
I’m so sorry. Our 3 year old son passed in 1992 and this song perfectly describes how I felt in that season and beyond.
Sorry for your loss may God bless your family
Beautiful reminder of God's unending, unconditional love of each of us❤
I lost my mother 08/08/18, This song truly hits home. I have never been more homesick than now. I patiently await the day I walk through the gates of heaven and feel her embrace again.
jhvk
I lost my ma on 8/19/23, love this song.
My husband's grandma past away 3 days ago from cancer, and for the last 4 days of her life my husband sat next to her praising Him with her. She's home now. No longer suffering. I'm so glad I got to spend time with her before our 5th baby was born and that she got to meet him and spent his 1st birthday with him before she got sick and passed. We love you grandma, thank you for being there for me when I needed you! You were a true blessing!
This is such a powerful song
I lost my son to depression. He was 21 years old he had so much ahead of him. He was a mental health Tech. He was going to school to be a nurse. I truly believe in my heart that he is in heaven. I know some day that I will see him again. My son's death turned myself ,and my daughter to Christ.
No doubt "Homesick" is one of the best songs that MercyMe has ever recorded !!!
I would agree Jeffrey
I also love Here With Me.
My favorite too!!!
I'm so sorry for all of us who have lost a love one. The hope we have with Jesus is beautiful. We will see him and our loved ones ❤
I lost my grandma a few weeks ago. It was my second grandma that I’ve lost. This song hits right in the soft spot. Thank you MercyMe
on the day after thanksgiving Jesus came down and told my boyfriend he needed him home with him.. I know he is healed now but I miss him so much.. His plan this Christmas eve was to ask me to marry him... I know one day I will see him again ..
BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IN JESUS NAME AMEN!!!!
Thanks for sharing this about your parents. I play Homesick every year on the anniversary of my mom's passing. I just played it today October 11, 2023 on the 14th anniversary of her death. I miss her so much but I know she is with me every day.
Our mother Recently Went to Be With JESUS, This song "Homesick"By Mercy Me is special to me now 🌹🙌🌹
Just saw my Dad off on his amazing journey homeward this week.
In God"s mercy the joy for him filled my heart and still carries me as the grief (Which God also uses for our blessing) works it's way.
Now in awe and wonder I am watching in faith and in deed as his plan to redeem my Dad's death for the work of his kingdom transpires. Is that not just like our God, redeem death for life! All praise to Him!!!
My son was killed 6/03/23 he was 15 . I miss him so much
My sister passed away in 2015 listening to this song. Tomorrow is her birthday and I'm screaming this song to the tops of my lungs I miss her so much 😭
I'm feeling weird today . I just miss you Lord . I'm homesick . I want to visit you but I still have lots to do in my life . Don't want to kaput yet . But I miss you Lord I love you so much ❤️
It's Christmas and missing mom and dad. Love you both and I could only hope to see you both one day.
I have a friend Daniel Talbert he was like a brother. Showed me to build mental and physical strength at the gym. I heard this song and thought of him and his parents and wife and young daughter. He's a great man and a great father and we all love and miss him we will see him again in heaven one day and will tell him what a blessing and impact he made on my life shake and bake! Love you bro
My beloved Mom passed away on 27th of May this year because of Covid 19, so many guilts crashed down on me, why didn't I call her often, or took her to her favorite restaurant, bought her favorite dresses. I hope Jesus gives me strength to live my life without her. Thank you MercyMe for this wonderful song.
This is the one...I love the words...it says it all. I think we all are homesick and it gets worse the older we get. Love this song and this group of talented musicians.
Stumbled upon this song as I was searching for songs that could minister to my broken heart. Thinking of my dad who passed last November. This is a beautiful song and the lyrics resonate with my heart. And I miss my dad.
Please keep my wife in your prayers. She has myotonic muscular dystrophy. Her mobility and ability to walk has regressed over the past few years. Doctors cannot heal or cure her, but I know God can and will. Please make this a daily prayer request for her. It is hard, some days, to stay positive and to not worry about her situation. I rely on the love of God and the prayers of others to get me through. God Bless and thank you! #CureMyotonicMuscularDystrophy
in christ there is no goodbyes and we will see our family members and friends in heaven I love Jesus and im home sick for my heavenly father and im so homesick

This song always lead me to a time when im away but always lead me back to the Lord
I lost my dad, grandparents, aunt and cousin who was only 44. I miss all of them so much 😪 😢 😔 😭😭. My heart is broken 💔. I know they are waiting on me when my time comes. 🙏🙏🙏
I miss my papaw everyday. He passed in 2012. So that made me 11 and a half at the time.
Thanks for this amazing song!! I lost my mom Feb. 25th, 2022. This song describes it to a tee. Of course I miss other family including my twin sister and Grandparent’s. I feel this for Our God and King!! 😢❤
Missin you grandma
Just lost my Mama 2 days ago. Yes, I know in Christ, it's not really good-bye, but Lord, help me, I miss her so.
Missing my Grandma, who passed away in 2016 when I was in Twin Cities on Work assignment for two months. Missed seeing her before she passed as I found out she passed away as I was boarding the plane to go see her. She always had an encouraging Word from the Lord for me and loved me unconditionally. In Christ there are no goodbyes.... I love you Grandma and will see you someday.

One day I will be with you again Granny. 1937-2014.💔
This song was on the radio on my way home the night I got the call that my grandfather died. MercyMe's Finally Home came on while I was driving home from his funeral. The perfect songs at the perfect times. I can't imagine how these artists get through songs like this without losing it.
I lost a friend to brain cancer nearly five years ago . He had his last blood transfusions during the week leading up to Father’s Day. He went home to the father 11 days after Father’s Day. I was mad at God , ran away from his word and worship music for a full year afterwards. Sense then Iv tried my best running back to God but the anniversary’s still make me cry. I do t want to be sad anymore that my friend is in a better place and that I will see him again. But I don’t want to loose his memories if abs when I do decide to move on knowing that’s what he wants me to do. Help me mercy me please
Hey. I know something of what you are going through. 4 years ago, my dad, my best friend, passed. Since then, I've oftentimes cried myself to sleep. It's not wrong to cry and let out your emotions. The Bible has many a verse about that (the one about there being a time for mourning, i.e.). As for being mad at God, well, take it from someone who does it, it does not make anything better. I wish I could help more.
This year will be:
16 years since my grandfather Victorino passed away.
9 years since my grandfather Leonel gone.
2 years since Jaime, my best friend decided to say: see you on the other side.
Every farewell was full of sad and pain; but over the years I have been able to accept that they are no longer here, 'cause they still live in my memories everyday.
But you my love, my dearest, my heart... this year will be 7 years since you been gone. And I still feel like homesick without you... I still love you Claudio and I miss you a lot every single day honey. I hope for the day when we'll meet again 😔
God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!
15 years and still - this song says it all - how long do I have to wait to see you? But the Lord says in Isaiah 55:8-9 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
So I wait for Him to call me home so I can hug you and Jesus because with out Him we would not see each other again. I will still miss you and cry but .......
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
This song is indescribably wonderful and heartfelt! It's pure as the purest wool & smooth as the smoothest silk!! It more than adequately describes my heart's eternal longing for walking through the gates of heaven, someday when Jesus comes back!!!
This song hits my heart and soul hard every time I hear it. It's so beautiful and so sad at the same time. The part that always gets to me the most is "I've never been more homesick than now" is because I'm homesick for my Heavenly father and loved ones who are in Heaven.
I feel the absolute same way
For 11 years I've missed my Daughter Hannah! The Thing that hurts so much is I don't understand why! Thank God! His word is forever settled in Heaven. In that the hope of resurrection! The hope of glory that we'll see each other again.
May anyone who has lost a Loved one be comforted by the God of all comfort!
My sweet baby sister passed away on 01-27-15 listening to this song and today is the first time I've ever been able to listen to this song since the day since she passed away. Kelsy dawn Lilley I miss you more than words can describe!! I need you to give me the strength to make it through somehow. Just until the day I get to walk up to you and wrap you in my arms!!
I lost 3 relatives in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. My cousin, Debbie Bradley who was in her early 30s hung herself in April, my great aunt, Snookie Bradley passed from bone cancer at 86 about a month later, and my other aunt, Vickie Bradley passed in October from breast cancer at age 60. I sang I can only imagine for them and other people I'm hoping to see again someday. All I have now is the hope that they're all being held in the Lord's arms and that they'll be back when He comes back
This song, these words sum up the past 46 or more years since I looked upon my babygirl who died by cord wrapping around her neck before delivery. Pulled my heart out my chest yet Is. 41:10 lingers I'm my heart/mind KNOWING Jesus did and is doing EXSCTLY what He says in that verse. Seek Him... Trust Him you will NOT be ashamed.
Looking forward to seeing my mom again. She passed on 3-6-23
Such a great song! I love your music! Can't wait to see my mom again! miss her so much
I cannot begin to describe how much the Holy Ghost inspired Mercy Me to write this song. This is exactly it. I am so grateful to God for this song.
I'm not much on Bible stuff but the song has always resonated with me about missing someone who has passed. As a kid going to a random concert in ft Smith to a kid missing the yesteryear
THANK YOU LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IN JESUS NAME FOR BEING THERE TO SEND US A COMFORTER TO HELP US GET THRU OUR TIMES OF TROUBLE ,ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND AMEN!!!
"IF home is where the heart is, then I'm out of place....."

That line gets me every time! 😭
Isabella, good morning. My name is Donald Mayer and I live in Coplay, Pennsylvania. I have a strong feeling you've gone through much sorrow in your lifetime. Please let me comfort you by telling you I truly truly understand how you feel. For one thing, my wife died in December of 2016. We were married 28 years. I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. For another thing, I just received word one of our church members passed away last night. Isabella, this young woman leaves behind a husband and several young children. I'm sure you know death can be extremely hard to take. We must remember those who die in the Lord are now home with our Lord in Heaven where there is no more sickness or pain. Listen, you might want to listen to Michael Card sing New Jerusalem. If you want to communicate with me, I will be glad to read what you have to say. Isabella, I really want you to know what you suffer I suffer. What you feel I feel. Take care of yourself!
@@donmayer58 that is kindness I don't get to experience much these days. Thank you for offering comfort to a stranger. Your comment made me smile. 😊🙏💖
We just lost our 15 yr old son, 2 months ago on Jan 16th, 2022. Miss him so much. 💔
I feel every lyric of this song "i close my eyes and see your face, if homes where my heart is then im of out place...."
I can't think of a better place but to be in the presence of our King...I'm so ready to be home, but until my last breath I'll proclaim my testimony of Jesus Christ...nothing can ever take His place in my heart.
Truly a friend that sticks closer than a brother!
I miss all my family in Heaven, My Grandparents, Parents, Sister and brothers, Aunt's and Uncles, but more than missing them, I am homesick for my only Daughter. My heart will never heal until I go Home to be with her 🕊️

Homesick - MercyMe / Lyrics
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 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
Miss you mom. I can't wait to see you again.
2:08 My Dad passed away on May 8th 2024 . I will him miss very much. My heart hurts so much
I heard this song and thought of my best friend Daniel Talbert he's in heaven now and like he said we will have rocking chairs in heaven telling our stories of the past on the front porch in heaven he introduced me to the gym god came into my life and I might have got there earlier myself if it hadn't been for him and god both. Love you both and thanks for giving me the strength to be the man I am today shake and bake!

My family and I love this song so much. My church members have been supporting me and I miss going to church so bad they calm me down because my grandfather James was suffering from cancer. He is in a better place
Sometimes the song hits me so hard
My aunt passed on April 4th 2009 it's been 13 years I miss her so much.
I Love This ... I Lost My Daughter in 2016 And I Lost My Son, An 8-Year Veteran, In 2018 .
Both Were 37 At The Time Of Their Death. I Can't Wait To See Them Both In Heaven.
My ex partner passed away just over a month ago
And I gets full chills
At in christ there are no goodbyes
And then just break down
Lost my precious husband from Covid in January 2022 This song echoes my heart on our anniversary.
