MercyMe - Homesick

home sick

[@gsp404faith5]

Today, I begged God to let me come home. My mama and brother died 2 years ago, my daddy 17 years. 2 months ago I had to make my daughter leave because she was abusive. Im living with no power,water or gas. Trying to sell the house my mother left me but i can't afford being disabled. My son wont have anything to do with me because my daughter told him i kicked her out for no reason. Im here and keep going, but God knows how much I want to come home. I praise him no matter what.

Don, absolutely right. Jesus will soon return. Read John 14, 12-14. Kjv. Even greater works it says, will we do. These miracles as we call them, are happening globally.

I lost my precious wife last June. God blessed me with this special women for 49 years in my life. Even though I hurt more than any other time in my life, I surrendered the hurt to our Lord and Savior and He gave that peace that is beyond our understanding. Then for the first time in my life I had a longing for heaven. This song really ministered to me. Thank you Lord and may You continue to use and bless MercyMe.

Lost both my father and my sister ( both to cancer - a year ago in 2022) 36 hours apart... Thankfully, they were in the same hospital, on the same floor - across the hall from each other - making it easier to sit with them both... I didn't leave the hospital for a week... My sister left us 1st, and then our father passed away 36 hours later! I miss them both SO VERY MUCH! Like the lyrics of another song that I love so much: " I'm Jealous of the Angels ( who are gathered around the thrown Tonight!", as well as another wonderful song: " When tomorrow starts without me!" When My heart is heavy, and I feel the need to let it out by having a good cry, I listen to these songs to help ease my heartache!!

I lost my 3 1/2 month old son in 79. Then in 2020 my oldest son died in my arms.. I’ve been so broken ever since.. thank you for this song.. God is my Father and savior. He’s walking beside me. But I’m tired and want to be with em so bad. I wasn’t the best mom. But I tried. God loves me and knows he let me hold em both when they left. I have to look to God. I have 2 more boys who need me and a wonderful husband. I love em all so much. But the pain is so hard some times. Beautiful song ❤

50 years ago I lost twins 7 months into my pregnancy. Numerous losses since then including the sudden deaths of my husband and brother in their mid 50s. Although my life is full and wonderful in Jesus I still feel homesick and indulge in lament at times. Having this song pop up this morning just after my granddaughter lost her baby was timely. Thank you for your sincere and transparent songs and your continued ministry through Christian music!

@rodneysmith8378 It does change you, Rodney. I didn't include the most devastating loss in my first comment. My first grandchild died of SIDS when he was just under three months old.

May the Lord comfort you and your wife as you journey on with Jesus.

[@natefaust7790]

My dad died on May 3, 2024. It hurts so much to never be able to talk to him or to do anything with him that we’ve done in the past. It hurts so much. There’s so much to say to him that I’ll never get to say. I can’t understand why God would take him so soon and so suddenly. My dad was a pastor for over 60 years. When I thought about going to heaven, I thought, Of course I’m going to heaven because my dad is a pastor, God and my dad are real tight. But then I read in my Bible, “For all have fallen short of the glory of God.” That’s when I thought, wait a minute, you mean I’m not getting into heaven because my dad is a pastor? I realized that no I wasn’t. That I needed Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. And that’s what happened.

Amen! That's the reality we must all come to, that our salvation is not inherited. We will all, individually face the judgement seat.

I know this song is about someone passing away, but for me, it's about my family. I got kicked out of home a couple years back. Lived on the streets, then eventually moved in with a friend a couple months later. Still have my two younger, and two older siblings living at home and each day, I wonder how they are. It's been a year and a half since I have seen them. That's the meaning of a good song though. It can relate to different types of people and there emotions. Great song.

This Song will forever minister to people who have lost someone. Please don’t ever think that the words that God gives you in writing a song will be trivial to anyone going through tragedy. It is amazing what blessing a 3 minute song can do when you are in deep hurt. Powerful because God uses songs to bring peace, comfort, joy. I lost my husband January 2022 to the affects of Covid. We were married 42 years. I’ve learned a lot this year about so many things. But most of all we need ministry to those suffering loss. I want to be a part of making that change.

This song hit me like a ton of bricks! I can hardly see my keyboard for the tears ... I've lived this and asked GOD to bring me home too because I didn't think I could take anymore but HE said "NO". I was in a hospital at the time with my own health issues. My brother was killed on 4/8/2014 in a motorcycle accident and our Mama passed away 10 months later ... but from 2014 the year of my brother's death to 2015, in that 1 year, between blood kin and friends as close as kin we lost 15 people ... in 1 year! The only way I kept from losing my mind was that now, they are with JESUS ... no more suffering, no more trouble, only LOVE & PEACE. My only support person is my husband and he's been stuck in Mexico with immigration issues. He has been there since May 12th, 2007. I finally woke up and turned it over to JESUS and we're getting closer to him coming home, I need him here 1st because I love him and also my health is getting worse and I'm alone. What little bit of family that's left, have all gone their own ways ... it's heartbreaking, but I'm hanging on to JESUS so it's gonna be alright. 🙏 Any and all prayers would be greatly welcomed & appreciated. 🙏

Your song, "I Can Only Imagine", was the first time God softened my heart towards His Son Jesus. I have never believed in Jesus and my christian sister threw a big 50th birthday party for herself and I bought her this CD! We listened to this song over and over again and I pondered about this Jesus! Every time my sister said Jesus' name to me our whole adult lives I yelled at her and when Jesus redeemed me i was shocked! He will be sent back soon and will save many from every nation, tribe, peoples and tongues that no man can number for the glory of God. (see Apocalypse/Book of Revelation Ch. 7) This sister of mine is of the world and doesn't know Jesus and His truth's. She has terribly persecuted me as well as other religious christians, and He has great mercy and blesses me with praying for all to be healed, saved and blessed with godly sorrow and penitent hearts and those of us who need His mercy in our hearts for those who have harmed us.

She didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to burden me with more. I thank God I got to tell them both I loved them before they left this earth. Me and dad were more best friends then dad/daughter and even though me and my mum had our differences were grew closer and talked about the Lord before she passed….. I love this song, even though it makes me bawl my eyes out. I can’t wait to see them both again. I’m grateful I was raised in a Christian home . If your in pain your not alone. It’s okay to feel but Know that whoever you’ve lost , they’re in perfect peace and Love with God. There’s a purpose for your life don’t get stuck in grief , but remember the happiness they’re experiencing ! You will see them again because of Jesus ❤️

Seems I'm still loosing people I love and care about. I feel like Job, Joseph and David even Daniel, in the bible. No matter what I'm still going to PRAISE MY LORD AND SAVIOR. Just waiting for this storm to end. Got covid last month and I've went this whole time not getting it. It took alot out of me. I have other health issues despite everything else.

[@donnaperry9201]

Amen Sister, I am so sorry for the loss of your baby😢.. satan is working overtime to destroy JESUS' children.. I moved to Alabama to be near my daughter's and grandchildren. 2 years later Jan2012 I had a stroke.. Since I lived alone there was no one to help me realize something was bad wrong.. I got pretty bizarre and started snapping at people, I really couldn't help myself.. Before I knew my children disowned me, My grandcchildren and the town I loved, I had snapped at my neighbor, and was someone I am not.. His son started terrorizing me,...6 years later I fled with only what I could fit in my car. 50+ years of everything gone. He followed me here (across 3 states) and continues to terrorize me.. I'm just cling to Jesus robe.. I'm sorry this was so long, I wanted to say that satan is devastating a lot of God's children, we Christians must lean on each other.. God Bless you always ✝

Our baby girl ( at birth) friends I've known and a few other family members. Yet Here I remain in a day and time that appears to be getting darker and darker. With each passing day. Which just makes me yearn for OUR Real Home. To see and be with Our Father above safe and Happy again. Never to mourn or cry again. This song and the group do such a Great Job. Of bringing out that hope and Joy. In each song they produce. One of the reasons I like listening to them. Thank You Jesus. For thier faith and dedication o the task that you have set before them.

My Mom passed away 8 years ago (yesterday). When she passed - I was unable to get through the "thought barrier" of my brain, to my emotional soul. I kept rationalizing, "it was time for her to go" - and that I was "okay" with it.....But I knew I was holding back my true emotions. I was responsible for finding the few songs to play during the wake, to the background of the photo display the funeral home would play on their monitors. I didn't know what to pick. I google'd funeral songs, and this song came up - I'd never heard it before - and knew nothing about Mercy Me. I played this song - and it floored me, completely. Played the song for my wife and 3 children, and I cried and cried into my wife's lap. I cried harder than I had since I was a child. It both devastated and released me. It released my emotional, soulful pain. This song has come to mean so much to me. It reflects an attitude about death and Christ and Heaven that I've never heard in any other song or poem or story. And it reflected my Mom's own attitudes toward death and Heaven...I am so thankful that I found this song. Any yes, I did have it played at my Mom's wake.

Lost the love of my life 44 yrs, ago. He was a Vietnam vet who came home with PTSD. Course in those days no one talked about it or even the war. Our young men couldn't even come home in uniform. So it was hard for him. Just as he was getting his life together he was killed by a drunk driver. We had a son I had to carry on for. It's not been an easy life, but it has always belonged to God. I'm old now and looking forward to the day I go home to join my love and Jesus along with all my loved ones who went before me. This song really hit home, Thank You for your ministry in Christ through music. It's the most powerful medium to touch hearts and souls. May God continue to bless you through your music and I pray that "He holds you in the palm of his hand" as you go forth into the world singing songs of praise and love. God Bless you all.
