Lyrics
THE HOMESICK FOR HEAVEN BLUES The more that I know, the more that I know That I really don’t know much of what there is to be known But I know my Jesus, I know all that I need As my sight becomes clearer, it’s clearer to see That I’ll never see that much of what there is to be seen But my sights on Jesus, He’s watching over me The closer I get to His heavenly place The more I realize that I’m still far away On my way to Jesus, tryin’ to follow His lead The harder I try the more my effort’s in vain I tried to change myself but just got more of the same Then I changed to Jesus, He’s not done changing me When I’m at my worst is when he show’s me His best The best that I can do is follow Him and He does the rest As many sins I remember there’s even more I forget But despite myself He hasn’t given up on me yet (Can I hear an amen?… AMEN!) The less of myself that I put in His way The more the Holy Spirit works in me everyday In the hands of Jesus, He’s still working on me The more I give love the more I have love to give And love can preach the gospel in the way that I live When the Love of Jesus, when it’s shining through me The first will be last and the last will be first So if the world tells me I’m better off I’m probably worse The more I hold onto the more slips away But my treasure’s safe in heaven so I’ll just have to wait (Oh Lord I pray You give me Patience) I was just living but with Christ I’m alive I gladly lost my life to Him so I could survive Living life for Jesus, ‘cause He gave it to me Once I had hope but with Jesus I know That when I leave this world I’ll be ready to go Going home to Jesus, heaven’s waiting for me
