Home where I belong

The other day I came across a beautiful and Poignant song sung by Mark lowry(Gaither vocal band. Home Where I belong. The verses reiterate the simple truth that we are just passing through. Nobody else can make a fool out of himself and make a point across at the same time like Mark. And when he puts aside his clowns face and sings a song the pure conviction hits you in the face. You can not listen to this song without a tear in your eyes and a smile in your face.

They say that heaven's pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I
would have to choose between the two
I'd go home, going home, where I belong


And sometimes when I'm dreaming
It comes as no surprise
That if you look and see
The homesick feeling in my eyes
I'm going home, going home, where I belong


While I'm here I'll serve him gladly
And sing him all my songs
I'm here, but not for long
And when I'm feeling lonely
And when I'm feeling blue
It's such a joy to know that
I am only passing through


I'm headed home, going home, where I belong


And one day I'll be sleeping,
When death knocks on my door
And I'll awake and find that
I'm not homesick anymore
I'll be home, going home, where I belong

Somebody's Praying

I recently came across Ricky Skaggs's song "Somebody's praying'. A moving and a deeply touching song that drives home the simple fact that we are what we are since somebody's praying for us. Through all the trials and troubles we face in life's journey we are held up by prayers. Especially now as we are in a foreign land and away from all our loved ones it has been their prayers which are holding us up.

Lyrics
Somebody's praying; I can feel it
Somebody's praying for me.

Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect me from what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Somebody's praying for me.

Angels are watching; I can feel it
Angels are watching over me.

There's many miles ahead till I get home
Still I'm safely kept before your throne
Cuz Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Your angels are watching over me.

Well, I've walked the barren wilderness
Where my pillow was a stone
And I've been through the darkest caverns
Where no light had ever shown.

Still I went on cuz there was someone
Who was down on their knees
And Lord I thank you for those people
Praying all this time for me.

Somebody's praying; I can feel it
Somebody's praying for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect me from what I can't see.

Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Somebody's praying for me.

Somebody's praying for me.

Thank God for all the people who pray for others.
