Homesick
The sky is so blue
The air is so clear
All the things in nature
Shout that God is near
The falling leaves
The cloudless sky
The squirrels collecting nuts
Makes me wonder why
My heart will stray
My thoughts impure
When nature tells me
My faith is sure
Oh God please remind me
Today and every day
This earth in all its beauty
Is not where I am meant to stay
Give me strength and courage
To live in this aging shell
Realizing there are many
Who know nothing of heaven & hell.
Fix my wondering eyes
On that glorious home above
Where beauty beyond my imagining
Will be only surpassed by love.
