Missing You Always...

~Happy "36th" Birthday My Sweet Sister My Forever Best Friend~

How I miss you each and every day!

Homesick

MercyMe

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 am 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 am 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...

*

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...

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Please, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Cause I've never been more homesick than now

Sissy's Song

Alan Jackson

Why did she have to go

So young I just don't know why

Things happen half the time

Without reason without ryhme

Lovely, sweet young woman

Daughter, wife, and "sister"

Makes no sense to me

I just have to believe

*

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels

By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees

And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting

And I know she's smiling saying

Don't worry 'bout me.

*

Loved ones she left behind

Just trying to survive

And understand the why

Feeling so lost inside

Anger shot straight at God

Then asking for His love

Empty with disbelief

Just hoping that maybe

*

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels...
*

Its hard to say good-bye

Her picture in my mind

We'll always be of times I'll cherish

And I won't cry cause

*

She flew up to the Heaven on the wings of angels...

*

Don't worry 'bout me.
Don't worry 'bout me.

Don't worry 'bout me.
