Kolleen posted a music video in her Peace II thread that moved my soul. It reminded me of Steven Curtis Chapman's Long Way Home, especially the second verse. I'm going to post the video link Kolleen has in her thread and the Chapman song. Our homecoming seems right at hand but every day that it's delayed seems like a burden. These songs lift my spirits.  What other songs can you think of with this similar theme?

Over the next hill, we'll be home. :whistle:

"Over The Next Hill"

 

By the way the land is layin'

I think I'd be safe in sayin'

That over the next hill we'll be home

 

It's a straight and narrow highway

No detours and no byways

And over the next hill we'll be home

 

From the prophets I've been hearin'

I would say the end is nearin'

For I see familiar landmarks all along

 

By the dreams that I've been dreamin'

There will come a great redeemin'

And over the next hill we'll be home

 

By the turn the tide is takin'

I would say there's no mistakin'

That over the next hill we'll be home

 

There's a place that we are nearin'

That so many have been fearin'

And over the next hill we'll be home

 

When we get there we're all hopin'

That we'll find the gate is open

And there'll be a refuge from the comin' storm

 

For the way's been long and weary

But at last the end is nearin'

And over the next hill we'll be home

This song always gets me instantly in a happy mood … “Jerusalem”by the Hoppers.

Love the weary traveler! I had not heard that Steven Curtis Chapman song before, I like it!

Here's one of my favorites too.

That Almost Home video had a tear jerking moment in it. Maybe because I'm still a bit melancholy from the loss of a dear friend over the holidays. I do wonder why we cry when we know for certain that a faithful sibling in Christ has gone home. Certainly its because they will no longer be with us in our own journey but I have to wonder, since Jesus cried over Lazarus, if it's not also becuase of the sting that sin has in every life. I love all the videos you guys have posted! Keep 'em coming!
