Hope Series 16 Song for the Day

Colossians 3:16
"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly . . . singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

"Homesick For Heaven"
 1. God made this world its beauty you can see;
He made the stars. He made the honey bee.
He gave His life for every human heart.
That's why I sing My God How Great Thou Art!
Chorus:
Now I'm homesick for heaven.
 I long my dear Saviour to see.
I know He will greet me when the pearly gates open for me.

2. Christ promised me a mansion over there.
He said "be true and trust me everywhere".
And though the path be rugged to that land,
I long to see the nail prints in His hand.
Chorus:
That's why I'm homesick for heaven.
I long my dear Saviour to see.
I know He will greet me when the pearly gates open for me.

3. I kneel in prayer; I look up in His face.
Then I thank the Lord for His redeeming Grace,
But how my heart longs for that blessed day,
When up in Heaven all tears are wiped away.
Chorus:
That's why I'm homesick for heaven.
I long my dear Saviour to see,
I know He will greet me when the pearly gates open for me.

4. Down here below my body's wracked with pain,
My spirit's free for peace within me reigns.
But someday soon upon that golden shore,
There'll be no pain, no suffering evermore.
Chorus:
That's why I'm homesick for heaven.
I long my dear Saviour to see,
I know He will greet me when the pearly gates open for me.
