Homesick for Heaven

Lyrics

Homesick for Heaven Verse 1 There’s an old picture of Grandpa Sittin’ by my bed And sometimes I still hear the things That old man used to say I’d give anything to sit with him On that porch again But I know he’s somewhere better And I’ll see him in the end Pre-Chorus Seems the older that I get The more folks I love are gone And the more this world feels temporary The more I’m longing for home Chorus I’m homesick for Heaven Though I’ve never been before I’m missin’ all the ones I love Who walked through that door I wonder if Grandpa’s waitin’ Like he always used to do And if the friends I lost too early Know I still think about ’em too Yeah, I’m homesick for Heaven And I don’t know how much longer I can wait But ’til the good Lord calls me home I’ll keep walkin’ on in faith Yeah, I’ve never laid eyes on it But somehow I know it’s home I’m homesick for Heaven For the ones who’ve already gone Verse 2 There’s a couple names I still can’t hear Without goin’ back in time To Friday nights and old dirt roads When we thought we’d never die Funny how a phone full of pictures Can make twenty years feel near I’d trade every one of those memories Just to have ’em standing here Pre-Chorus But I believe there’s more than memories Waitin’ on the other side And goodbye ain’t really goodbye It’s just goodbye for a little while Chorus I’m homesick for Heaven Though I’ve never been before I’m missin’ all the ones I love Who walked through that door I wonder if Grandpa’s waitin’ Like he always used to do And if the friends I lost too early Know I still think about ’em too Yeah, I’m homesick for Heaven And I don’t know how much longer I can wait But ’til the good Lord calls me home I’ll keep walkin’ on in faith Yeah, I’ve never laid eyes on it But somehow I know it’s home I’m homesick for Heaven For the ones who’ve already gone Bridge I ain’t askin’ to leave early There’s still livin’ left to do Still some people here who need me And some dreams I’m chasin’ too But when my road down here is over I know where I wanna be With Grandpa and those old friends Waitin’ there for me Final Chorus I’m homesick for Heaven Though I’ve never been before But I swear with every goodbye I miss that place a little more Maybe Grandpa’s up there smiling Maybe my old friends are too Maybe they’re saving me a place Like I pray that people do Yeah, I’m homesick for Heaven But I’ll wait until the day When the good Lord says it’s time to come And takes this ache away Then I’ll finally see the place I’ve spent my whole life longing for I won’t be homesick for Heaven ’Cause I’ll finally be home
