HOME.

THOUGH I MAKE A HOUSE FEEL COMFORTABLE
THOUGH I FILL IT WITH OUR FAMILY’S LOVE
THOUGH I DO MY BEST TO MAKE IT FEEL WARM
I STILL DON’T BELONG HERE, MY HOME IS ABOVE.

THOUGH A HUG CAN FEEL SO SWEET
AND SO MUCH HAPPINESS COMES WITH A KISS…
I AM ALWAYS LONGING FOR THAT PLACE
THAT IS FILLED WITH ETERNAL BLISS.

YES, INDEED WE HEARD HIM SAY
“THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND”…
BUT THE FINAL DAY HASN’T HAPPENED…
WHAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO IS SO GRAND.

EVERYTIME I THINK OF THE OTHER SIDE,
I WONDER HOW IT’S GOING TO BE…
HOW AMAZING TO HUG MY MOMMA AGAIN,
AND HEAR HER SAY HOW SHE’S MISSED ME!!

BUT FOR NOW, WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT A BIT.
WE STILL HAVE SOME TRIALS AHEAD.
SO ALTHOUGH I HOPE FOR HEAVEN ONE DAY,
I’LL BE CONTENT IN TODAY, INSTEAD.

AND WHILE I FEEL A LITTLE AT HOME SOMETIMES,
THAT LONGING STILL RINGS TRUE…
LORD JESUS HELP ME BE STEADFAST HERE
IN EVERYTHING I DO.
