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

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

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
PLEASE won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow?
I’ve never been more Homesick than now.
"Homesick" by Bart Millard

Our Sweet Austi, you are FOREVER in our Hearts.
We Love and Miss you
