Kinda Homesick

Beulah Land

I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before.
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
for time won't matter anymore.

Chorus:
Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
and some day on thee I'll stand.
There my home shall be eternal.
Beulah Land -- Sweet Beulah Land

Verse 2
I'm looking now across the river
where my faith will end in sight.
There's just a few more days to labor.
Then I will take my heavenly flight.

This beautiful song was a song my Pappaw loved & some sweet friends sang it at his funeral years ago.
Today (& lately) I'm really feeling like the lyrics to this song. I'm a little bit "over" the world & honestly feel a constant growing alienation by it. 
The precious loved ones that I have there only make the idea of Heaven even sweeter. 
Then on days like the past few, when I have experienced some amazing worship that must be a small picture of what it will be like in Heaven, I can't help but feel a little homesick for what awaits.
I've said it once today. I'll say it again. Lord, come quickly!
