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.
My husband went to Heaven 1/20/22. I feel this song deep in my heart. I've never been so Homesick in my life! One of my favorite sayings use to be " Home Is Where The Heart Is" but my heart feels so empty now! I feel your hurt Tanya and one day we won't have to be Homesick and we'll be home with our husbands again for forever! 🤗
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.
God can renew these broken relationships. Abandon yourself to Him, make a new life of helping others like yourself, and a great and wonderful world will open up to you!❤
I don’t know if you have already reconciled with your loved ones, but if you haven’t, Don’t separate yourself from the ones you love. There’s nothing that you can’t overcome, Jesus Christ our Lord ,can fix things for you and your family.
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. I still grieve over all these losses, but I think I can say the grief has found its place and in some strange way, I've become a better person and closer to Jesus than ever. May the Lord comfort you and your wife as you journey on with Jesus.
I have lost my Mother Brother Cousin and uncle all to suicides I was headed down that road before all of these deaths . GOD found me & I accepted JESUS as my SAVIOR! I Also Lost both of my Aunts and Step Dad Cousin Grandma & my Grandpa Who raised me most of my Life. This SONG really hit home in my heart, I miss them all , but I have HOPE and FAITH IN JESUS JESUS and i took care of burying them all and residing at their Funerals, May GOD BLESS ALL WHO have had similiar tragedys in their lifes .GOD BLESS THE whole BAND in writing and performing this song for all of us THANKS BE TO JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR AMEN
Praise God! He adores us so much. Thank you for putting this on, it was so encouraging when I read it. Despite your plans for yourself, God intervened and saved you!!
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 sure did minister to me. Tammy you are so right about what a 3 minute song can do! I also lost my husband January 2022 to COVID. In this year I have looked at so many things differently! I see things in a different light now. This song gave my aching heart some peace today! They are so many people out there that are suffering with broken hearts. Our purpose here on earth could be to help those who are mourning the lost of love ones! Tammy I'm so sorry for your lost, it's the hardest thing I have ever been through!🤗🙏💔
My Prayers, my sincere prayers, are for everyone that's lost a loved one. Sending love to you. I know the feeling . The heartache , heartbreak and lost feeling you can't describe. I've lost many. Daddy. Mother. StepDad, Stepmom, Sister, Sister in law, brother in law, Mother in law, and husband. Too many.
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. Only those saved by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will be covered and found worthy. Thank you God for awaking this brother in Christ! I'm so very sorry for your loss, but thankfully, you will see him again! God bless you!
I won't lie dear my brother has been gone 43 years, my mom 37 years and my daddy 16 years. No matter what anyone says, what we do is put one foot in front of the other and continue living by faith in God, memories that pop out of nowhere, tears and the prayer to join them when God says it's our time. I'm truly sorry for your loss and pain at this time. Keep putting one foot in front of the other in order to continue living life the best way you can
I lost my mom 4 weeks ago on July 19, 2022. I miss her immensely. I know she is with Jesus and spending every moment praising Him. This song has really touched me. It truly says what I feel. I’m so homesick. But I’m holding onto Jesus until I get to go home. I know He holds me and loves me.
I lost my baby daughter about three months ago she was with me for fifty three years,I'll miss her every day but God saw her pain and know that she could bear it anymore And I know she was really too going to her v
And I will miss her here on earth but one day I will be with her in God kingdom ❤ God takes care of her she not in pain anymore and I don't worry about my daughter because she is in better care, thanks you Jesus for caring about your children I will miss her dearly but you loved her more thank you Jesus
I lost my husband of 43 years. He was my life, my world, my love, my home. I am so lost without him. I know that he is with Jesus. Thank you for your song. It really touched me and helped me with what I have been feeling. I look forwarded to going home to be with them when my time comes. God Bless you.
God bless everyone everything and may the good lord bless and keep us all thanks loveones for still lovimg us forever and sending your love and remberces and letting us know your alright and helping us though we are grateful and thankful its really hard sometimes we question ourselfes you and others putting the blame or carrying too much or what may be the cause prolonging our healinhgs or peace even blocking love thinking that's how they would want it but i feel its only holding us back and keeping us behind yes hold them close but without the extra weight so they can show and give us more love hope laughter more of them its ok we are alright they are alright we have a place we belong let thier light shine and come through big hugs much love thanks for the amazing song and sharing with us like you said lord im off for two months the lord knew and knows he has us thanks lord everyone
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.
I understand the longing Paul, I lost my precious husband Kala in January. I have been depressed and wanted to die when I was young, but this is different, I LONG for heaven, to be with Jesus, and Kala.
AMEN AND HALLELUJAH!! The love of Christ Jesus is beyond any word/words that can be found!! He's the LOVE everyone searches for, and it's right there for your taking, to share with all who know His truth!?
I too understand the longing for Heaven. I lost my husband and soulmate of 41 years, 4 1/2 years ago. I still feel lost without him. We’re fortunate Paul. We know this life isn’t all there is and we will be reunited with our spouses again. We have the blessed hope of Heaven, our real home. I’m so sorry for your loss and the others who have responded to your post. I pray that the Lord Jesus will give us the strength to endure this life until we cross that Heavenly shore.
Anyone still listening to this? August 21, 2019. I really love this part of this album. This is one of my father's funeral song. God is really a great God. 😊
I lost my husband in 2016, my dad in 2018, my Milo Kitty (age 13) in 2018, my BearDog (age 8) in 2021 and my Mom last August. I miss them all so much and home seems so far away anymore- everything has changed ...the only thing that never changes is that God is always there for me, even through the worst days of my life. Amen💯
My Dad passed away from cancer 61 years ago today when I was 9 years old. The saying 'time heals all wounds is a lie!' This song and Finally Home really speak to me.
Jesus has been with me every moment since I lost my daughter, saw her face and everytime I close my eyes I believe I see her, it haunts me. I've Never been alone one moment and that was 1975, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever... He satisfys the longing soul and you are right about time.
Amen time has something to do help with but we will forever have love and carry them keep remberimg thiet live and blessings si sorry about akk best of dreams love s and much healinhs
“Home” is family for me. I almost lost my son to addiction. The first time I was graced to see him clean and sober was “Home”. God did me strength through thousands of prayers. The power of God runs deep.
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 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 In Christ, there are no goodbyes And in Christ, there is no end So I'll hold onto Jesus With all that I have To see you again To see you again And 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 Won't you give me strength To make it through somehow Won't you give me strength To make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now
I lost my precious daughter 3 months ago to cancer and I love this song and the song Even If and my 11 yr old grandson sang it in Church to all of us that were so devastated after 4 years of praying and standing in faith. God bless you and the gift of comforting others in your songs. ❤️🙏
@@nancylane4236 amen amen as we continue on holding carrying the love not knowing but do know thiet love is still remains the same growing and watering our love like a fresh flower or beautiful plant that shows beauty given love big hugs love and beauty i remember when my husband and his mom would go to the store to buy beautiful flowers and plants and seeds o O L P
I lost my son Lenny 💔 20yrs ago and even tho we go on through Christ who strengths us, to care for the walking wounded of thus world, a piece of us does yearn for our heavenly home. I loved this song. Love Mercy me but had not really heard this. Thanks friends.
My sweet, beautiful sister Kelli, died 3 1/2 years ago to the horrible disease of addiction. She loved the Lord so much and fought so hard, but also was so ready to go home! I have been broken since. She had a beautiful heart, but her demons were more powerful than the faith that would heal her. This song reminds me so much that I am so homesick to be with the Lord and see my sweet sister again. I know she healed, happy, and whole staring in the face of Jesus! I still miss her everyday, but long for the day to walk the streets of Gold, hand in hand, as she shows me around her new home. I miss you sissy! Can't wait to know what it's like to see Jesus with you, as we rejoice together I. The presence of our Lord.
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!!
Every time I come across this song my heart still hurts. In June 2004 I became a minister, on 7/8/2004 my dad passed into Heaven. I'm his only child he was my favorite person second only to Yeshua! My first assignment as a new minister ... Officiate my sweet daddy's service into eternity! The night before I had to stand before the congregation and all of his friends I must have listened to this song about 1000 times! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! It healed my broken heart and gave me the strength and courage to stand before ABBA and man and release my heart and hurt and say farewell dad till we meet again!
I lost my dad 6 years ago to brain cancer. He was the rock of the family. This song reminded me of how much I miss him, but I’m just so thankful that he had given his life to Christ about 5 years prior to him passing, so I’m very hopeful that I will see him when Jesus takes me home.
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 ❤
So sorry for your tragic loss. I understand your immense pain. I lost my 90 year old father on 20th June 2021, lost my mom 25th June. She was 3 weeks away from turning 84 years old. My world is still ripped. Would you like to connect with me. I know that I need understanding of my situation. Not many people can support
My condolences to you sweetheart. I lost my brother June 12, 2021 at the age of 48. 13 months later I lost my mom July 18th, 2022.she was 74 My heart was ripped from my chest. Most days I feel like I am drowning and all I want is to be with them. I am blessed to still have my dad. We just celebrated his 76th birthday February 1st. I do my best to take care of him and help him. It is hard watching how bad he is hurting missing my mom so much. I pray and thank God every second I have him here with me.
@@reignpropertygroup9460 I always heard people say it gets better with time, it doesn't, only by the grace of God's goodness am I able to face each day. Some days the waves roll in and I feel in a million little pieces held together and other days and even more now I have come to rejoice in their Homecoming, I really can only imagine their days now celebrating with their loved ones and no more pain or sickness and best of all to be with the One they've long to see ( King Jesus). I will keep you in my heart and prayers, thank you so much.
This song is a blessing as I have had two best friends go to heaven at 53 & 58 years old. Early in 2013 and 2014, I lost my grandparents and an aunt. The following year I lost my dad. Two years later I lost my husband. My heart aches for home.
I lost my first born daughter 6yrs.ago and I'm here to tell you for me the pain hasn't gotten any easier ! GOD has helped me to cope and I know I will be with her again but I still feel the hurt like it was yesterday 💔
My husband, who is my soulmate, best friend, and love of my life, passed away unexpectedly on July 15, 2023. It shook me to my core. My emotions are raw, but i haven't been able to describe how I feel to someone else who hasn't had such a crushing, heart wrenching loss. This song explains it's so well! I pray God gives me the strength to get through this. Right now I feel empty and lost, and I miss him so much!
Your song has touched my heart so much because The LIRD took my only daughter home on 2/3/23 after a long journey of being in the hospital for 16 months! My heart is so broken and heavy! She left behind 3 beautiful children!💖💖💙❤️🩹thank you for all of your meaningful songs.🙏🏼
I'm sorry I also lost my eldest son now he's life was football and he died 2 brain tumors and know iv lost my wife after 30 years but she's with him XX 💞❤️ God bless to you all xx her name was Marlene Graham so please don't get it wrong iv got her phone xx God bless you all xx
Oh no my deepest condolonces I clicked on this because I never heard this song, and I immediately saw this comment. Praying for you and the family and kids in Jesus mighty name sending love and prayers. Praying HE hold you, comfort and bless you in Jesus name 🙏
@Sheila Jaco I am SO SORRY for your loss. May God give you the strength & peace to get you through this. I know we will never stop grieving until we reach heaven. 🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻
@@marlenegraham-oi3fv I am so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a child or a husband. But I have lost my entire family. May God give you the strength & peace to get you through this trial. We will never stop grieving until we're home. 🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻
Lost my husband and mother within 6 months about a year ago. I took care of both of them 24/7 until their last breath. I'm now taking care of my 91 year old father...and as hard as it was to lose both of them...its harder to watch my father just giving up because he lost his soulmate, the other woman he ever knew, of 70 years. I tell him God has a plan and we must wait for it. He understands that, but he is so lonely for her, my mother...so this song really hits home. Thank you for writing and singing it...🙏💔
My 19-year-old son took his life back on October 24, 2005. We had this song looped at the end of his memorial service in the background of all of the pictures of him. This song meant so much to me and my surviving children. It gives me the hope that I will see him again. I love you, Eric.
This song makes me so wanting to see the Lord Jesus and truly go home for once in my life to finally have peace.... Thank You Jesus for saving me from the life I used to lead
My parents were married 54 years. They died a little over 2 years apart.. i knew when daddy died, momma would follow soon after. She missed him and said she felt homesick. She couldnt wait to see Jesus and my daddy.
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. Pray for all and the peace of Jerusalem. Jesus' least little disciple, Laurie
I grew up with a lot of sibling - my best friends in 2 years I lost 3 brothers My mom 2 weeks later my baby sister and my daughter. I have one foot in and one foot out-- I'm waiting to go home and trying to live.. I'm waiting to be with the people that made my life livable. I pray to the lord to guide me threw each day... It's so hard ... I'm holding on to see them again and keeping the faith. This song is everything to me ! Thank you
I just lost my wife of 43 years two weeks ago and I can't tell you how lost I feel without her. I know she's pain free now after 18 months of battling cancer. I know that we will be together in heaven but it is so incredibly difficult to face my immediate future without her. But she left an incredible legacy of faith that I now must try to honor and carry on.
Thank you for your ministry as you follow Christ. I lost my eldest son of almost 45 yes to suicide. As a mother trying to talk my son out of taking his life was devastating. 19 months ago. Then losing my precious husband 5 months ago to an unexpected death has left me so broken. 😢 THANK YOU
I'm so sorry for your losses. Sadly, I can truthfully say I understand how you feel. We lost our 48 year old daughter four years ago this month to depression/suicide. It still hurts. We miss her so much. My husband of 53 years also this month has been in hospice care this past day. It's so hard wondering day by day if he'll be here the next day. I can't imagine life without him. 💔 If not for God........
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. 🙏
This song is very touching. After I lost my 16 year old son due to impaired driver. And loosing my 22 year old daughter to suicide. I needed to hear this song. Thank you Mercy Me. Your music is very touching. Expecially I can only imagine was both played at my kids services.. I love going you you guys concerts.. God Bless you
I'm so sorry 😢 you've been through more than I could imagine💔 my sister just lost her son at burning man, she lost an infant girl to side along time ago, 💔 Jesus heals❤
Thank you ! I lost my husband 10 months ago to Covid and the forced protocols .. we were married for almost 41 yrs .. I am longing for home !! Maranatha !!💞
Janet, I lost my husband 9 months ago today to COVID. We were married 33 years and I am also Homesick to go Home! Losing a spouse is, losing a part of you. A feeling that is hard to understand, unless you've been through it! This song has spoken to my broken heart. Praying for Love, Peace and Joy for all of us that have lost our love ones!
@@janeteaton3240 Thank You Janet. I'll check it out. I've heard alot of stories that sound the same also. I'm so sorry about your loss too. One lady I met a the cemetery, lived in a different town, basically had the same story. God have mercy on their souls if they are doing the wrong things. Their job is to protect not harm, no matter the price! Not all people are bad but evil does exist! This mess has taken our life away and can never get them back. We are changed forever. Just so SAD 😢!!!
This song was one I listened to on repeat 17 years ago when we lost our infant son, and was such a comfort to me. It wasn’t until I heard this testimony a few days ago about the history of this song that I realized it was written around 6 months before we lost our baby. God used your pain to bring about this song that would bless not only the people in your life, but also me 6 months later and thousands of people since then. Thank you!
Yes amen this good blessed song helped many and themselves to get though plus keep us at bay peace remberces of loveones thank you all sorry about all its really hard when young ot someone that been there we love u all carry on hearts filled with love and pain love is still there and growing still sharing lord thank you ty all big hugs prayings
Yes I believe God used his pain to finish writing this song. God knew how it would Bless so many people on their journey of being " Homesick",!!! Thank you God and Mercy Me for such a heartfelt song.
My name is Jennifer. I'm listening to this song on my daughter's phone. This hits home because I had a miscarriage 05/20/2022. Hearing about the twins testimony hit hard. I started bawling my eyes out. I feel like I'm the only one grieving the loss of my precious Baby Lee. I've been hit hard with so much this year. Lost alot. 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. SATAN NEEDS TO BITE THE DUST IN JESUS MIGHTY & HOLY NAME! THIS TO SHALL PASS. I WILL PREVAIL!
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 ✝
My mom passed away on January 14, 2023. This song has ministered to me just when I needed it. It describes exactly how I am feeling and still do. I miss my mom so much. Thank you and Hod bless you.
So good. My 96 year-old Dad is getting over COVID. He may be getting tired. I thought about him when you were presenting how this song came about. Loved your movie. God bless you ❤️
My only son Christopher went to Heaven in only 10 days. I was in shock and despair. He was 36 and I found my son dead in the house from covid when it first came to the USA. Chris' spirit is alive with Abba Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. My heart is broken and I dearly miss him
Why is dying so painful to the people that are closest ....I lost a son in 2012 , my mom in 2014 , my husband and my dad died a month apart in 2016....and I still feel the pain because we were all so close....so all I can say is God is a miracle healer..and I'm really sorry for your loss 💜🙏
You, with this song, pulled me out of the darkest hole I have ever been. My husband went to Heaven 16 years ago, and my niece gave me your cd.I think I played it every day for about 2 years, and although I know where he is, you reminded me that there is no shame in crying for some who has gone before us.
Ive lost one child and my parents and grand parents several aunts and uncles. Got burned in a car fire when i was two and was not supposed to have lived thru the first night. Its been a hard life as ive been made fun of almost my whole life and this song says it all. We do not know why God dose what he dose but i can say this song says it all for me . Im ready to go home any time the lord wants me. God bless you all in your loss.
@@raebroussard7913 thank you i wasnt there is some had it worse than me and i do realize it but somedays its hard to keep the faith. A lot of days im ready to go home . God bless you
This Oct 23rd will soon be a year since I lost my mother i never felt so much pain in my life my heart is broken learning to live in the world without isn't easy God help get through Such a beautiful spiritual song you took me on a journey I felt as if I was seeing her
I think I was at this concert if it was in Ypsilanti Michigan. Reading this comments and their faith is so inspiring. Hold on brothers and sisters we're going home soon, or should I say He's coming to get us soon!
I lost my first grandson...my daughter's only child, on 12/16 and right now I still don't know if God can fix this. Like you, inside of me I know that he can, but right now I just can't. He was my heart and it is still gut wrenching.
@@mjc1977 As Bart mentioned...I am not sure right now that God can fix this...this will take some time...I think that unless you have been thru losing a child or grandchild it would be hard to have any semblance of understanding. I thought I had perspective when friends went through this, but I was wrong. Thank you for your reply...
I lost my mama 55 years ago I was 7, 2 weeks we lost our nephew 34 he was hit my a car, Nov 4th another member died from covid he is going to be in same funeral home and buried on same day what was a whirlwind of her being snatched away. I am in Christ as they all were
I lost my best friend, My Dad . He had a massive heart attack one second here and the next gone, then 8 months later I Lost my mom , I didn’t know her breast cancer had come back until two weeks before she passed. 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 ❤️
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.
My beloved husband of 34 years passed away unexpectedly on December 4, 2021. The void in my heart will never be filled. God's Grace, Mercy, and Love has sustained me for the last 9 months. Your beautiful song speaks to my heart. Thank you.
Losing someone you love is so hard .it's been almost a year since my love passed .His love makes it possible for those of us he left behind ,love and God make it bearable.
I lost my first husband to a tragedy in 1985 . I remarried 11 years later and was married for 17 years . In 2016 he died in a traffic accident. I totally understand your pain . I love this song and it really touched my heart . I often rely on the song ...One day at a time . That's how I live my life now . May God give you peace
I just lost my son a little over a month ago…a week before Mother’s Day and 10 days before his 24th birthday….while I’m at peace and thankful that he is with the Lord and I will see him again….I am shattered….I know my work here is not done….but everyday I look to the sky and wonder if it can be today…thank you MercyMe for putting what I can’t articulate to words and music ❤
I lost my mom, then my dad, then my husband married 57 years in 2020, then my sister 11 months later. I've know many losses. But their all with Our Lord and Savior. I'm here so missing them but God will take me home to be with Him forever and be with all my loved ones soon. Thank you for the beautiful song. May God Bless You All!!! 😇💔
I'm so. Blessed to say I've heard you sing this song in person.. I prayed I make it to a place where I'm not to homesick...bcz I'm getting. More. Homesick for. Heaven. Everyday....I luv this song. God knows what song to put in our path. This song was in my path at. Right time
I adore you.. I lost my only 31 year old son he was my best friend and my protector.. I am so touched by this song... I lost my husband in 2007 it's omforting knowing they are together in heaven and I will see them again.. but I still cry missing him and laugh thinking of humor he's laughter was so infectious Thank you God bless you ❤️
SO many stories of tragedy and sorrow here. I can only say. That I know each and everyone's feelings. I have lost So many people in my life over the years. Including my First wife of 10 years. 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.
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.
Lost my mom We i was 10😩 ( now I’m 43) Thank u for this song , i know I will see her again soon..👌🏽😊💕been listening u all for a while now ( all your songs) but .. this song always grabs me. My heart strings always. Thank u and GOD BLESS 🙌🏽💕😊😘 #thankyoujesus🙌🏽
Thank you Lord bringing Mercy Me.🙏 I can’t believe I am just hearing this song! I much love for these guys! I am hearing it at the right time. Amen ❤️🙏🙏🙏
I just bought the CD with this song on it. But this is the first explanation of the song and why it was written. I personally took it as I was homesick to see Jesus, which I truly am. It is wonderful and very comforting. I love you guys and your music. I always say oh yes that’s the one song that helps in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ but then you come up with another like this one. Thank you for singing songs that speak directly to my heart. God bless you all
2007, I lost my eldest Son, my Grandson and his wife. Since 2014 I've lost my husband, eldest Grandson, my youngest son had heart attacks, multiple caths and this January he passed, 48, leaving a 11 and 9 yo sons and 26 yo daughter. It seems unexplainable to be here with them gone and kind of futile. I completely understand and feel the pain of this song.
One my favorite songs ever thank Mercy me i lost my only child my beautiful daughter at 17 , she was a faithful child of God . I miss her every breathe i take, this song really hit home. I can hear it over and over. May God continue to bless your journey and making beautiful music. Love you guys.
I absolutely love this song. I've listened to it I don't how many times and every time I get choked up. This world is not my home and I can't wait to go and see my dad again. I miss him so much. I'm am truly homesick.
One of the best things anyone ever shared with me when I lost a loved one was that the best way to honor them was to share the love from our loved one and work harder now to make this world a more loving Place. God bless you you are in my prayers from Patrick
I lost my Mom 17.5 years ago. I learned that pain you speak about never seems to totally go away. I turn a corner and I am reminded of her one way or another. Then the pain comes back like it occurred yesterday. The only help is again what you speak of. In Christ I know I will see her again.
It is half hour before Holy Sabbath is over tonight,and I wanted worship songs. I stumbled across this. I've recently lost 8 people in death. To hear you talk about losing people. I felt my tears building up. I haven't had time to grieve, because it was so many so quickly! Both dads, my Auntie Jean, My Cousins Dad, my brothers wife, my stepmom is dying, my sister ended up in Harborview from overdose, as my brother was diagnosed with Alzheimers, and my Mom with dementia. I lost my best friend. I had to rely on Jesus for my everything! This happened for me between September 2023- February 2024. 6 months period filled with hospitals and funerals. Oil live several hours away from my family, due to my own health issues. Surviving cancers. THANK YOU for this song! Please, tell your families thank you for sharing your time and talents. Those of us out here need the encouragement.
dad had the last rights read to him 3 times and all those Priests died before dad did. The doctors who operated on his heart died years before him. Dad had a hard life, he always had life threatening troubles. I myself should have died at 8 months. My issues where lung related dads was heart. yet dad never died of heart just a fall onto concrete. to you sir You healed me with this song. Saw you in Phoenix, love you so much! I'm doing fine love you and your band.
The Summer of 2022, I lost 5 friends, then my dad died suddenly in July then September took my oldest Brother-in-law and I was devastaed. If the Lord hadn't held me I would have lost it, gone off my rocker. Thank you for this testimony.
Thank you for this song, I lost my Grandma Memaw Friday night at around 10:55, she passed away:( It hurts so bad, I miss my grandma so much. I know that she is with Jesus, and that she is a peace and that she's not suffering anymore. And I know that I will see her again someday. But I still miss my Grandma Memaw. Why does losing a loved one have to hurt so bad.
Some people say suicide is unforgivable but I’m here to tell you it isn’t. Yes we grieve God in taking our own life but it is not the unforgivable sin. I had an uncle who committed suicide and I know we will see him when we go to be with the Lord. Suicide is mentioned only six times in the whole Bible, but when it is mentioned there is no moral evaluation given as to whether it is right or wrong (the 6th commandment provides the moral evaluation): 1. Abimelech (Judg. 9:50-57); 2. Samson (Judg. 16:28-30); 3. Saul (1 Sam. 31:1-6; 2 Sam. 1:1-15; 1 Chron. 10:1-13); 4. Ahithophel (2 Sam. 17:23); 5. Zimri (1 Kings 16:18-19); and 6. Judas Iscariot (Matt. 27:5; Acts 1:18-20). In fact, the clear and consistent message of the Bible is the complete and full forgiveness of sins (past, present, and future-known sin and unknown sin) through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. You can rest assured knowing you will see your loved one again. Remember Christ dies for our sins past present and future. And lastly, Repentance itself does not seal us into the heavenly kingdom-the Holy Spirit has given us such a seal (Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Although confessing our sins before God does increase our fellowship with him, it does not seal us any more than we have already been by the blood of the lamb.
This song was played at my sister's memorial service in the slide show that a friend of hers made and it turned out great. It has been almost a year since my sister passed away the 20th of this month will be a year since she passed away.
My parents both died by the time l was 11. You finally described how l felt my whole life. I didn't belong. I was looking for a place just to fit in, be accepted. Thank you for the peace and comfort your music brings to everyone's heart that is searching for that little something that help the struggle of life make sense.
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.

My husband went to Heaven 1/20/22. I feel this song deep in my heart. I've never been so Homesick in my life! One of my favorite sayings use to be " Home Is Where The Heart Is" but my heart feels so empty now! I feel your hurt Tanya and one day we won't have to be Homesick and we'll be home with our husbands again for forever! 🤗
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.
Are u homeless now.maybe I can help.im n alabama
God can renew these broken relationships. Abandon yourself to Him, make a new life of helping others like yourself, and a great and wonderful world will open up to you!❤
I don’t know if you have already reconciled with your loved ones, but if you haven’t, Don’t separate yourself from the ones you love. There’s nothing that you can’t overcome, Jesus Christ our Lord ,can fix things for you and your family.
I love it, so deep & meaningful~❤
Amen
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. I still grieve over all these losses, but I think I can say the grief has found its place and in some strange way, I've become a better person and closer to Jesus than ever. May the Lord comfort you and your wife as you journey on with Jesus.
Yes Amen❤
I have lost my Mother Brother Cousin and uncle all to suicides I was headed down that road before all of these deaths . GOD found me & I accepted JESUS as my SAVIOR! I Also Lost both of my Aunts and Step Dad Cousin Grandma & my Grandpa Who raised me most of my Life.
This SONG really hit home in my heart,
I miss them all , but I have HOPE and FAITH IN JESUS JESUS and i took care of burying them all and residing at their Funerals,
May GOD BLESS ALL WHO have had similiar tragedys in their lifes .GOD BLESS THE whole BAND in writing and performing this song for all of us
THANKS BE TO JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR AMEN
Praise God! He adores us so much. Thank you for putting this on, it was so encouraging when I read it. Despite your plans for yourself, God intervened and saved you!!
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.
Amen ❤️
This song sure did minister to me. Tammy you are so right about what a 3 minute song can do! I also lost my husband January 2022 to COVID. In this year I have looked at so many things differently! I see things in a different light now. This song gave my aching heart some peace today! They are so many people out there that are suffering with broken hearts. Our purpose here on earth could be to help those who are mourning the lost of love ones! Tammy I'm so sorry for your lost, it's the hardest thing I have ever been through!🤗🙏💔
@@debbiestowe1343 you and tammy are so right, this song & god we need! Im so sorry for both ur losses! My love and prayers are with you both & to all!

My Prayers, my sincere prayers, are for everyone that's lost a loved one.
Sending love to you.
I know the feeling . The heartache , heartbreak and lost feeling you can't describe.
I've lost many. Daddy. Mother. StepDad, Stepmom, Sister, Sister in law, brother in law, Mother in law, and husband.
Too many.
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. Only those saved by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will be covered and found worthy. Thank you God for awaking this brother in Christ! I'm so very sorry for your loss, but thankfully, you will see him again! God bless you!
Amen we have to ask Jesus to come into our hearts. We can’t go to heaven just because we had a good daddy or mama.
@@AB-ds3ud thank you
I won't lie dear my brother has been gone 43 years, my mom 37 years and my daddy 16 years. No matter what anyone says, what we do is put one foot in front of the other and continue living by faith in God, memories that pop out of nowhere, tears and the prayer to join them when God says it's our time. I'm truly sorry for your loss and pain at this time. Keep putting one foot in front of the other in order to continue living life the best way you can
I lost my mom 4 weeks ago on July 19, 2022. I miss her immensely. I know she is with Jesus and spending every moment praising Him. This song has really touched me. It truly says what I feel. I’m so homesick. But I’m holding onto Jesus until I get to go home. I know He holds me and loves me.
I know the feeling ☺️
I've lost 3 family members and my best friend!, this song helped heal my broken heart

I lost my husband of 43 years. He was my life, my world, my love, my home. I am so lost without him. I know that he is with Jesus. Thank you for your song. It really touched me and helped me with what I have been feeling. I look forwarded to going home to be with them when my time comes. God Bless you.

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.
I understand the longing Paul, I lost my precious husband Kala in January. I have been depressed and wanted to die when I was young, but this is different, I LONG for heaven, to be with Jesus, and Kala.
I hope life is easier now.
in front of each of us!! Grab it and certainly reciprocate cuz you'll never know the most blessed feeling EVER!!!! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
AMEN AND HALLELUJAH!! The love of Christ Jesus is beyond any word/words that can be found!! He's the LOVE everyone searches for, and it's right there for your taking, to share with all who know His truth!?
I too understand the longing for Heaven. I lost my husband and soulmate of 41 years, 4 1/2 years ago. I still feel lost without him. We’re fortunate Paul. We know this life isn’t all there is and we will be reunited with our spouses again. We have the blessed hope of Heaven, our real home. I’m so sorry for your loss and the others who have responded to your post. I pray that the Lord Jesus will give us the strength to endure this life until we cross that Heavenly shore.
I lost my husband last year. We only had 11 wonderful years together and I really feel more and more homesick everyday.
Anyone still listening to this? August 21, 2019. I really love this part of this album. This is one of my father's funeral song. God is really a great God. 😊
July 2022
I lost my husband in 2016, my dad in 2018, my Milo Kitty (age 13) in 2018, my BearDog (age 8) in 2021 and my Mom last August. I miss them all so much and home seems so far away anymore- everything has changed ...the only thing that never changes is that God is always there for me, even through the worst days of my life. Amen💯
My Dad passed away from cancer 61 years ago today when I was 9 years old. The saying 'time heals all wounds is a lie!' This song and Finally Home really speak to me.
Jesus has been with me every moment since I lost my daughter, saw her face and everytime I close my eyes I believe I see her, it haunts me. I've Never been alone one moment and that was 1975, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever... He satisfys the longing soul and you are right about time.

“Home” is family for me. I almost lost my son to addiction. The first time I was graced to see him clean and sober was “Home”. God did me strength through thousands of prayers. The power of God runs deep.
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
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
In Christ, there are no goodbyes
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus
With all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And 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
Won't you give me strength
To make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength
To make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
I lost my precious daughter 3 months ago to cancer and I love this song and the song Even If and my 11 yr old grandson sang it in Church to all of us that were so devastated after 4 years of praying and standing in faith. God bless you and the gift of comforting others in your songs. ❤️🙏

My sweet, beautiful sister Kelli, died 3 1/2 years ago to the horrible disease of addiction. She loved the Lord so much and fought so hard, but also was so ready to go home! I have been broken since. She had a beautiful heart, but her demons were more powerful than the faith that would heal her. This song reminds me so much that I am so homesick to be with the Lord and see my sweet sister again. I know she healed, happy, and whole staring in the face of Jesus! I still miss her everyday, but long for the day to walk the streets of Gold, hand in hand, as she shows me around her new home. I miss you sissy! Can't wait to know what it's like to see Jesus with you, as we rejoice together I. The presence of our Lord.
I lost my son 2 yrs ago this is very hard waiting
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!!
Every time I come across this song my heart still hurts. In June 2004 I became a minister, on 7/8/2004 my dad passed into Heaven. I'm his only child he was my favorite person second only to Yeshua! My first assignment as a new minister ... Officiate my sweet daddy's service into eternity! The night before I had to stand before the congregation and all of his friends I must have listened to this song about 1000 times! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! It healed my broken heart and gave me the strength and courage to stand before ABBA and man and release my heart and hurt and say farewell dad till we meet again!
CJ, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Father.
May God continue to bless you through your Ministry & the good work you do!
I lost my dad 6 years ago to brain cancer. He was the rock of the family. This song reminded me of how much I miss him, but I’m just so thankful that he had given his life to Christ about 5 years prior to him passing, so I’m very hopeful that I will see him when Jesus takes me home.
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 ❤
I lost my Mom and Dad and it rocked my heart right out of my chest. Thank you for your gift of message in song and spirit that God gave you.

So sorry for your tragic loss. I understand your immense pain. I lost my 90 year old father on 20th June 2021, lost my mom 25th June. She was 3 weeks away from turning 84 years old. My world is still ripped.
Would you like to connect with me. I know that I need understanding of my situation. Not many people can support
My condolences to you sweetheart. I lost my brother June 12, 2021 at the age of 48. 13 months later I lost my mom July 18th, 2022.she was 74 My heart was ripped from my chest. Most days I feel like I am drowning and all I want is to be with them. I am blessed to still have my dad. We just celebrated his 76th birthday February 1st. I do my best to take care of him and help him. It is hard watching how bad he is hurting missing my mom so much. I pray and thank God every second I have him here with me.
@@marcusvillafranco1528 thank you so much, hugs and prayers to you.
@@reignpropertygroup9460 I always heard people say it gets better with time, it doesn't, only by the grace of God's goodness am I able to face each day. Some days the waves roll in and I feel in a million little pieces held together and other days and even more now I have come to rejoice in their Homecoming, I really can only imagine their days now celebrating with their loved ones and no more pain or sickness and best of all to be with the One they've long to see ( King Jesus). I will keep you in my heart and prayers, thank you so much.
This song is a blessing as I have had two best friends go to heaven at 53 & 58 years old. Early in 2013 and 2014, I lost my grandparents and an aunt. The following year I lost my dad. Two years later I lost my husband. My heart aches for home.
I know. Sometimes I feel that way too
I lost my first born daughter 6yrs.ago and I'm here to tell you for me the pain hasn't gotten any easier ! GOD has helped me to cope and I know I will be with her again but I still feel the hurt like it was yesterday 💔
My husband, who is my soulmate, best friend, and love of my life, passed away unexpectedly on July 15, 2023. It shook me to my core. My emotions are raw, but i haven't been able to describe how I feel to someone else who hasn't had such a crushing, heart wrenching loss. This song explains it's so well! I pray God gives me the strength to get through this. Right now I feel empty and lost, and I miss him so much!
I am the prayer boy Timothy lee hart that praying for the whole world to go to heaven
Your song has touched my heart so much because The LIRD took my only daughter home on 2/3/23 after a long journey of being in the hospital for 16 months! My heart is so broken and heavy! She left behind 3 beautiful children!💖💖💙❤️🩹thank you for all of your meaningful songs.🙏🏼
I'm sorry I also lost my eldest son now he's life was football and he died 2 brain tumors and know iv lost my wife after 30 years but she's with him XX 💞❤️ God bless to you all xx her name was Marlene Graham so please don't get it wrong iv got her phone xx God bless you all xx

@Sheila Jaco I am SO SORRY for your loss. May God give you the strength & peace to get you through this. I know we will never stop grieving until we reach heaven. 🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻
@@marlenegraham-oi3fv I am so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a child or a husband. But I have lost my entire family. May God give you the strength & peace to get you through this trial. We will never stop grieving until we're home. 🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻
Lost my husband and mother within 6 months about a year ago. I took care of both of them 24/7 until their last breath. I'm now taking care of my 91 year old father...and as hard as it was to lose both of them...its harder to watch my father just giving up because he lost his soulmate, the other woman he ever knew, of 70 years. I tell him God has a plan and we must wait for it. He understands that, but he is so lonely for her, my mother...so this song really hits home. Thank you for writing and singing it...🙏💔
I know what you mean I saw my mom and dad and my husband take their last breath. Hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Prayers for you 🙏
I know your pain. I lost my son when he was 48. Rips your heart out of your chest.
My 19-year-old son took his life back on October 24, 2005. We had this song looped at the end of his memorial service in the background of all of the pictures of him. This song meant so much to me and my surviving children. It gives me the hope that I will see him again. I love you, Eric.
This song makes me so wanting to see the Lord Jesus and truly go home for once in my life to finally have peace.... Thank You Jesus for saving me from the life I used to lead
My parents were married 54 years. They died a little over 2 years apart.. i knew when daddy died, momma would follow soon after. She missed him and said she felt homesick. She couldnt wait to see Jesus and my daddy.
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. Pray for all and the peace of Jerusalem. Jesus' least little disciple, Laurie
I grew up with a lot of sibling - my best friends in 2 years I lost 3 brothers My mom 2 weeks later my baby sister and my daughter. I have one foot in and one foot out-- I'm waiting to go home and trying to live.. I'm waiting to be with the people that made my life livable. I pray to the lord to guide me threw each day... It's so hard ... I'm holding on to see them again and keeping the faith. This song is everything to me ! Thank you
Prayers are with you Beckie. 🙏
So sorry thats a loy to deal with plus gbu all hope it getts better kerp loving
I just lost my wife of 43 years two weeks ago and I can't tell you how lost I feel without her. I know she's pain free now after 18 months of battling cancer. I know that we will be together in heaven but it is so incredibly difficult to face my immediate future without her. But she left an incredible legacy of faith that I now must try to honor and carry on.
Thank you for your ministry as you follow Christ. I lost my eldest son of almost 45 yes to suicide. As a mother trying to talk my son out of taking his life was devastating. 19 months ago. Then losing my precious husband 5 months ago to an unexpected death has left me so broken. 😢 THANK YOU
I'm so sorry for your losses. Sadly, I can truthfully say I understand how you feel. We lost our 48 year old daughter four years ago this month to depression/suicide. It still hurts. We miss her so much. My husband of 53 years also this month has been in hospice care this past day. It's so hard wondering day by day if he'll be here the next day. I can't imagine life without him. 💔 If not for God........
Know that there Christians praying for you and may you have peace in your heart..
So sorry for your losses.
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. 🙏
This song is very touching. After I lost my 16 year old son due to impaired driver. And loosing my 22 year old daughter to suicide. I needed to hear this song. Thank you Mercy Me. Your music is very touching. Expecially I can only imagine was both played at my kids services.. I love going you you guys concerts.. God Bless you
I'm so sorry 😢 you've been through more than I could imagine💔 my sister just lost her son at burning man, she lost an infant girl to side along time ago, 💔 Jesus heals❤
Thank you for the prayers. God does heal.
Thank you ! I lost my husband 10 months ago to Covid and the forced protocols .. we were married for almost 41 yrs .. I am longing for home !! Maranatha !!💞
So sorry for your loss
@@ThesoundofSilenceshh thank you
Janet, I lost my husband 9 months ago today to COVID. We were married 33 years and I am also Homesick to go Home! Losing a spouse is, losing a part of you. A feeling that is hard to understand, unless you've been through it! This song has spoken to my broken heart. Praying for Love, Peace and Joy for all of us that have lost our love ones!
@@janeteaton3240 Thank You Janet. I'll check it out. I've heard alot of stories that sound the same also. I'm so sorry about your loss too. One lady I met a the cemetery, lived in a different town, basically had the same story. God have mercy on their souls if they are doing the wrong things. Their job is to protect not harm, no matter the price! Not all people are bad but evil does exist! This mess has taken our life away and can never get them back. We are changed forever. Just so SAD 😢!!!
This song was one I listened to on repeat 17 years ago when we lost our infant son, and was such a comfort to me.
It wasn’t until I heard this testimony a few days ago about the history of this song that I realized it was written around 6 months before we lost our baby. God used your pain to bring about this song that would bless not only the people in your life, but also me 6 months later and thousands of people since then. Thank you!
Yes amen this good blessed song helped many and themselves to get though plus keep us at bay peace remberces of loveones thank you all sorry about all its really hard when young ot someone that been there we love u all carry on hearts filled with love and pain love is still there and growing still sharing lord thank you ty all big hugs prayings

Yes I believe God used his pain to finish writing this song. God knew how it would Bless so many people on their journey of being " Homesick",!!! Thank you God and Mercy Me for such a heartfelt song.
I lost my At my best friend to lung cancer her and I went to all the Christian concerts together. I feel so empty sometimes ❤️
Thank you MercyMe for your ministry. You have music that covers every situation a person could be dealing with. You are a great blessing for the Lord
My Dad just went home this morning, and you have no idea how this is tiuching me right now - God bless
Today is my deceased husband's birthday. He passed in 2018. I'm breathing. Praise be to Jesus Christ our Lord. Waiting.
I really enjoy the testimony in the beginning of this song. I know that this world is not our home and I can't wait til I see my Father!
Happy father's day daddy!!!!!!
Amen!!!
Amen
My name is Jennifer. I'm listening to this song on my daughter's phone. This hits home because I had a miscarriage 05/20/2022. Hearing about the twins testimony hit hard. I started bawling my eyes out. I feel like I'm the only one grieving the loss of my precious Baby Lee. I've been hit hard with so much this year. Lost alot. 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. SATAN NEEDS TO BITE THE DUST IN JESUS MIGHTY & HOLY NAME! THIS TO SHALL PASS. I WILL PREVAIL!
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 ✝
My mom passed away on January 14, 2023. This song has ministered to me just when I needed it.
It describes exactly how I am feeling and still do. I miss my mom so much. Thank you and Hod bless you.
So good. My 96 year-old Dad is getting over COVID. He may be getting tired. I thought about him when you were presenting how this song came about. Loved your movie. God bless you ❤️
I lost my wife 3 years now and she was 58 and I see you again with Jesus
After loosing my spouse 2/5/22…I’ve felt every word of this song so deeply. The only one who’s gotten me through this loss is God.
My only son Christopher went to Heaven in only 10 days. I was in shock and despair. He was 36 and I found my son dead in the house from covid when it first came to the USA. Chris' spirit is alive with Abba Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. My heart is broken and I dearly miss him
I am autism the prayer boy Timothy lee hart that's praying for the whole world to go to heaven
Why is dying so painful to the people that are closest ....I lost a son in 2012 , my mom in 2014 , my husband and my dad died a month apart in 2016....and I still feel the pain because we were all so close....so all I can say is God is a miracle healer..and I'm really sorry for your loss 💜🙏
You, with this song, pulled me out of the darkest hole I have ever been. My husband went to Heaven 16 years ago, and my niece gave me your cd.I think I played it every day for about 2 years, and although I know where he is, you reminded me that there is no shame in crying for some who has gone before us.
Ive lost one child and my parents and grand parents several aunts and uncles. Got burned in a car fire when i was two and was not supposed to have lived thru the first night. Its been a hard life as ive been made fun of almost my whole life and this song says it all. We do not know why God dose what he dose but i can say this song says it all for me . Im ready to go home any time the lord wants me. God bless you all in your loss.
God bless you Sweetie
@@raebroussard7913 thank you i wasnt there is some had it worse than me and i do realize it but somedays its hard to keep the faith. A lot of days im ready to go home . God bless you
This Oct 23rd will soon be a year since I lost my mother i never felt so much pain in my life my heart is broken learning to live in the world without isn't easy
God help get through
Such a beautiful spiritual song you took me on a journey I felt as if I was seeing her
I think I was at this concert if it was in Ypsilanti Michigan. Reading this comments and their faith is so inspiring. Hold on brothers and sisters we're going home soon, or should I say He's coming to get us soon!
I lost my first grandson...my daughter's only child, on 12/16 and right now I still don't know if God can fix this. Like you, inside of me I know that he can, but right now I just can't. He was my heart and it is still gut wrenching.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you .
God is a God of miracles he can fix it .
@@mjc1977 As Bart mentioned...I am not sure right now that God can fix this...this will take some time...I think that unless you have been thru losing a child or grandchild it would be hard to have any semblance of understanding. I thought I had perspective when friends went through this, but I was wrong. Thank you for your reply...
I lost my mama 55 years ago I was 7, 2 weeks we lost our nephew 34 he was hit my a car, Nov 4th another member died from covid he is going to be in same funeral home and buried on same day what was a whirlwind of her being snatched away. I am in Christ as they all were
I lost my best friend, My Dad . He had a massive heart attack one second here and the next gone, then 8 months later I Lost my mom , I didn’t know her breast cancer had come back until two weeks before she passed. 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 ❤️
This precious song was on my heart for awhile I didn't realize Mercy Me wrote it; what a beautiful anointed song ❤.
We played this song at my Dad's funeral. It brought so many tears.
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.
My beloved husband of 34 years passed away unexpectedly on December 4, 2021. The void in my heart will never be filled. God's Grace, Mercy, and Love has sustained me for the last 9 months. Your beautiful song speaks to my heart. Thank you.
I lost our daughter at 8 months term. Beautiful, touching, good tears
I am just listening to this the first time I love it keep doing what God wants you to do thank God for all his blessings Catherine Snead
I was at this concert. I had lost my wife 8 months earlier. It had a huge impact on my life.
I just lost my 26 year old son two months ago. I listen to this song over and over.
I'm sorry about your wife. I understand how you feel because I lost my husband 6 years ago.
Losing someone you love is so hard .it's been almost a year since my love passed .His love makes it possible for those of us he left behind ,love and God make it bearable.
Losing your loved one is very hard .it's been almost a year for me . this song has deep meaning.
I also listen to this alot
I lost my first husband to a tragedy in 1985 . I remarried 11 years later and was married for 17 years . In 2016 he died in a traffic accident. I totally understand your pain . I love this song and it really touched my heart . I often rely on the song ...One day at a time . That's how I live my life now . May God give you peace
I just lost my son a little over a month ago…a week before Mother’s Day and 10 days before his 24th birthday….while I’m at peace and thankful that he is with the Lord and I will see him again….I am shattered….I know my work here is not done….but everyday I look to the sky and wonder if it can be today…thank you MercyMe for putting what I can’t articulate to words and music ❤
I'm listening on this song almost everyday. This is the song when my dad passed away last 2005. I really love this song.
I also lost my Dad in 2005....This song says it all....may God be with you.
This song always makes me cry. The truth of it, the pain you instinctively understand if you've ever lost anyone....heart breaking.
I lost my mom, then my dad, then my husband married 57 years in 2020, then my sister 11 months later. I've know many losses. But their all with Our Lord and Savior. I'm here so missing them but God will take me home to be with Him forever and be with all my loved ones soon. Thank you for the beautiful song. May God Bless You All!!! 😇💔
I'm so. Blessed to say I've heard you sing this song in person.. I prayed I make it to a place where I'm not to homesick...bcz I'm getting. More. Homesick for. Heaven. Everyday....I luv this song. God knows what song to put in our path. This song was in my path at. Right time
I adore you.. I lost my only 31 year old son he was my best friend and my protector.. I am so touched by this song... I lost my husband in 2007 it's omforting knowing they are together in heaven and I will see them again.. but I still cry missing him and laugh thinking of humor he's laughter was so infectious Thank you God bless you ❤️
Me too … I lost my 33 year old son 5 years ago I miss him so very much 😢 I never heard this song before.. it’s lovely .. I’m sorry for your losses
God bless you and your family...NOTHING worse than the loss of a child/grandchild
So beautiful. This makes me cry every single time I hear it. I lost my brother, my best friend and my husband to cancer. It will always hurt.
SO many stories of tragedy and sorrow here. I can only say. That I know each and everyone's feelings. I have lost So many people in my life over the years. Including my First wife of 10 years. 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.
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.
Lost my mom We i was 10😩 ( now I’m 43) Thank u for this song , i know I will see her again soon..👌🏽😊💕been listening u all for a while now ( all your songs) but .. this song always grabs me. My heart strings always. Thank u and GOD BLESS 🙌🏽💕😊😘 #thankyoujesus🙌🏽

Aww 0
Our bridegroom is coming and soon we will be reunited with our loved ones! Heads up everyone!
i lost my grandpa on June 13th 2021 and i miss him so much and then i truly understood this song so thank for this song
I just bought the CD with this song on it. But this is the first explanation of the song and why it was written. I personally took it as I was homesick to see Jesus, which I truly am. It is wonderful and very comforting. I love you guys and your music. I always say oh yes that’s the one song that helps in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ but then you come up with another like this one. Thank you for singing songs that speak directly to my heart. God bless you all
RIP Mom. Miss you like crazy💔. 3-5-20
2007, I lost my eldest Son, my Grandson and his wife. Since 2014 I've lost my husband, eldest Grandson, my youngest son had heart attacks, multiple caths and this January he passed, 48, leaving a 11 and 9 yo sons and 26 yo daughter. It seems unexplainable to be here with them gone and kind of futile. I completely understand and feel the pain of this song.
So so so true. Thank you Jesus for the gift of Your grace ❤
One my favorite songs ever thank Mercy me i lost my only child my beautiful daughter at 17 , she was a faithful child of God . I miss her every breathe i take, this song really hit home. I can hear it over and over. May God continue to bless your journey and making beautiful music. Love you guys.
I absolutely love this song. I've listened to it I don't how many times and every time I get choked up. This world is not my home and I can't wait to go and see my dad again. I miss him so much. I'm am truly homesick.
One of the best things anyone ever shared with me when I lost a loved one was that the best way to honor them was to share the love from our loved one and work harder now to make this world a more loving Place. God bless you you are in my prayers from Patrick
I lost my Mom 17.5 years ago. I learned that pain you speak about never seems to totally go away. I turn a corner and I am reminded of her one way or another. Then the pain comes back like it occurred yesterday. The only help is again what you speak of. In Christ I know I will see her again.
It is half hour before Holy Sabbath is over tonight,and I wanted worship songs. I stumbled across this. I've recently lost 8 people in death. To hear you talk about losing people. I felt my tears building up. I haven't had time to grieve, because it was so many so quickly! Both dads, my Auntie Jean, My Cousins Dad, my brothers wife, my stepmom is dying, my sister ended up in Harborview from overdose, as my brother was diagnosed with Alzheimers, and my Mom with dementia. I lost my best friend.
I had to rely on Jesus for my everything! This happened for me between September 2023- February 2024. 6 months period filled with hospitals and funerals. Oil live several hours away from my family, due to my own health issues. Surviving cancers. THANK YOU for this song! Please, tell your families thank you for sharing your time and talents. Those of us out here need the encouragement.
dad had the last rights read to him 3 times and all those Priests died before dad did. The doctors who operated on his heart died years before him. Dad had a hard life, he always had life threatening troubles. I myself should have died at 8 months. My issues where lung related dads was heart. yet dad never died of heart just a fall onto concrete. to you sir You healed me with this song. Saw you in Phoenix, love you so much!
I'm doing fine love you and your band.
The Summer of 2022, I lost 5 friends, then my dad died suddenly in July then September took my oldest Brother-in-law and I was devastaed. If the Lord hadn't held me I would have lost it, gone off my rocker. Thank you for this testimony.
No song has ever made an impact in me as this song has!!!!!! It tells it all!!!! Thank you!!!🕊️🕊️🕊️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
I lost my husband 4/96/23 and this is exactly how I feel. Beautiful song and so heartfelt!
Thank you for this song, I lost my Grandma Memaw Friday night at around 10:55, she passed away:( It hurts so bad, I miss my grandma so much. I know that she is with Jesus, and that she is a peace and that she's not suffering anymore. And I know that I will see her again someday. But I still miss my Grandma Memaw. Why does losing a loved one have to hurt so bad.
...Got a good down-to-earth/country feel to his voice....Beautiful song.
Some people say suicide is unforgivable but I’m here to tell you it isn’t. Yes we grieve God in taking our own life but it is not the unforgivable sin. I had an uncle who committed suicide and I know we will see him when we go to be with the Lord. Suicide is mentioned only six times in the whole Bible, but when it is mentioned there is no moral evaluation given as to whether it is right or wrong (the 6th commandment provides the moral evaluation): 1. Abimelech (Judg. 9:50-57); 2. Samson (Judg. 16:28-30); 3. Saul (1 Sam. 31:1-6; 2 Sam. 1:1-15; 1 Chron. 10:1-13); 4. Ahithophel (2 Sam. 17:23); 5. Zimri (1 Kings 16:18-19); and 6. Judas Iscariot (Matt. 27:5; Acts 1:18-20). In fact, the clear and consistent message of the Bible is the complete and full forgiveness of sins (past, present, and future-known sin and unknown sin) through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. You can rest assured knowing you will see your loved one again. Remember Christ dies for our sins past present and future. And lastly, Repentance itself does not seal us into the heavenly kingdom-the Holy Spirit has given us such a seal (Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Although confessing our sins before God does increase our fellowship with him, it does not seal us any more than we have already been by the blood of the lamb.
We lost my step father Dec.1 , 2021. He suffer with bone cancer for about 3 years. He is now resting in the arms of Jesus.
This song was played at my sister's memorial service in the slide show that a friend of hers made and it turned out great. It has been almost a year since my sister passed away the 20th of this month will be a year since she passed away.
