Homesick For Heaven (Live From Singalong)

Can I play one more new song?
Is that all right?
Hm, I always loved singing about Heaven
And um, I think ever since I read the Chronicles of Narnia
Ever since I was like 12 years old
At the end, there's this real
I mean, it's not Bible, you know, but there's the way
C.S. Lewis painted this picture of these people entering into Heaven

And the further up and the further in they went
It's like the bigger and more beautiful it got
And it just continues to blossom into more and more beauty
And we don't know much about eternity
But we know enough to make our heart burn with fire
To want to live for it
And we know that He is the king of all satisfaction
And peace, and life, and creativity and beauty

And there's no end to any of that
It says for the ages to come
He's going to show us the exceeding riches of His grace
So ever since I was a kid, my heart kind of burned for Heaven
I've written these songs
And, um, I think this might be my favorite one
And it's called Homesick for Heaven
Can I sing it with you today?

My heart belongs to a country and a King
Of a land I've always known, but I've never seen
Some call it paradise or the land of the living
Well, I call it home, and I'm homesick for Heaven

I want to walk with Moses on streets of gold
And dance with David before your throne
To thank You face to face for the grace You've given
I want to see my children run to Your arms
And worship the Savior who wears my scars
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven

In my Father's house, there are many rooms
Yeah, there are
Enough for everyone, enough for you, yeah
I know it takes some faith
But today you can know without question
Believe in the power of Jesus' name
And you're going to Heaven, whoa-oh
Hallelujah, in Jesus' name, we're going to Heaven

I want to walk with Moses on streets of gold
And dance with David before your throne
To thank You face to face for the grace You've given
I want to see my children run to Your arms
And worship the Savior who wears my scars
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven

No more fear, no more pain
Every tear wiped away
Crying Holy, Holy
Every knee on the floor
Every voice evermore
Crying Holy, Holy, eh
Oh, I want to go home
Oh, I want to go home

To see the ones I love, who've gone before
When death is a memory and tears are no more
To hear the angels praise
Can you even imagine?

I'll run as fast as I can into Your arms
'Cause I was created to be where You are
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven

Come on!
That's the first time I've ever sung that for anybody, you guys
Uh, I'm going to keep that one around
