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 into 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
Enough for evеryone, enough for you
I know it takes somе faith but today you can know without question
Believe in the power of Jesus' name and you're going to Heaven
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 into 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
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
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 into 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
Enough for evеryone, enough for you
I know it takes somе faith but today you can know without question
Believe in the power of Jesus' name and you're going to Heaven
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 into 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
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
💡 Song Meaning & Background
"Homesick for Heaven" by Phil Wickham is a contemporary Christian worship song that expresses a believer's deep longing for eternal life in the presence of God. Rooted in biblical passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:8—which speaks of being away from the body and at home with the Lord—the song reflects the theological theme of earthly life as a temporary pilgrimage. Ultimately, it serves as a devotional reminder to maintain an eternal perspective, shifting focus away from mortal struggles and toward the promised restoration of heaven.
