My dad passed away when I was only four, but I still remember him, and this song is so relevant to my situation. My dad was a hard worker and owned his own business - so am and so do I. He played the mandolin, and I play guitar, so I've picked up a lot from him. I had a wonderful dream about him a few years ago when I went back in time when he was still living and I was of the age I am now. I walked up to him, put my arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. He turned to me and said, "Denny, I'm sorry for all the years of your life that I missed." What a gift from God that was.
Amen Denny. Thank God that your trusting Him even though you could turn away. My dad just passed away at 57 years old. Hard worker. His whole life. I know I’ll never be as good a father as he was. Amazing he was..I forgive and trust God in his plan for taking my dad so soon. Such a God fearing faithful man. Could have ask for a better dad. 😭🙏🏻❤️
Charles Edward Lund. My dad. 2nd. Generation Swedish immigrants. Hard working. First to turn the soil on our farm. Oh how do I explain?? I owe so much to him and to my mom who died at 37 years. I am so blessed!! If only all could have the wonderful family that I had!!! Main structure was our faith based foundation. John 3:16
If Only I could be there with him right now! I think it will be just like a soldier homecoming after going to war... Ill hold him tight and feel his embrace,look into his eyes..feel his scent and abandon myself in his amazing grace... Seeing Jesus for the first time,his scarred hands and feet,his face and his glory will be the highest point in the history of my existence ever!
Thank you for writing this: "...it will be just like a soldier homecoming after going to war.." I have had exactly this feeling for a long, long time but I didn´t have the words to describe it. This feeling of being far from home, of not belonging here, of having to fight every single day. Now I have the perfect description. God bless you!
I lost my Dad five months ago and this song makes me think of him every time I play it. It gets me from the very first words of, "I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck and tell him I missed him" and the "tell him all about the (woman) I've became and hope that it pleased him." I want more than anything to know that my dad is proud of the woman that I have grown to become today. I feel him with me from time to time and he gently reminds me with special signs every now and then and that's how I know he is watching over my mom, brother, my daughter, my son and me. I miss him every day and am just blessed that I have such wonderful, loving memories of him. It doesn't make it any easier to accept the fact that he's no longer in the physical world, but I know he's at peace. This song makes it a little easier day to day.
This song makes me think of my daddy too. Lost him January 8th this year. Me and my dad had the best relationship we talked everyday. We ran errands together and I would tell him everything. Now when I have something to share its hard not be able to talk with him. Can’t wait for the day I throw my arms around him.
I lost my dad about 8 years ago now. When I found this song at first I cried, because it reminded me so much of him and how much I wanted to see him. But after a while, I realized this song is very comforting because I know he's safe where he belongs. And reading this makes me realize I'm not alone.😊😊😊
awwwww i lost my dad april 23--i will never forget this date i want to write something awesome and inspiring but all i have to say is--jesus will give you comfort just ask---god blessed me so much i can't find my socks---ya he blew them off my feet so far i can't find em im' in so much debt for traveling from denver to seattle with 3 kids and wife thats not cheap then after the i had to watch 5 other kids and feed them--i said lord how the heck am i gonna do this----man did he have and still has my back--sorry to ramble but gods done work in my life and i know he can work in yours too--did you see the movie i can only imagine--you should oh this is not my account my names falconpunch but thats that peace sister
this was played at my dads funeral, I broke down thinking of him wrapping his arms around our Father God...awesome. you cant be sad knowing they are with God.
I know some are posting about losing their dads and all. I had a dad but he wasn't "there" if that makes sense. So I used to talk to God and ask him if he would be my father. Thank you God for being my father.
I relate to that a lot. Some of had alcoholic or abusive fathers that weren't there, so many broken promises, but God sends His son to heal us with the Holy Spirit.
Been sober for 5months now .And I thank GOD everyday for giving me a second chance at bettering myself ..i just pray and hope HE allows me to show what HE has done with me to HER ...I love you Jessica P...and i am deeply truly sorry for breaking your heart ..I MISS YOU...
I was raised super Christian( my dad used to be a Pentecostal minister)..... this song takes me back to my early years... now that I’m 21 and I’m in the military and I’ve seen some messed up shit from my youth onto now.... I wanna believe more than anything that there is a God that cares about us but I’ve seen too much evil in this world that contradicts that all the time
Just a few hours ago today (it's 4:44 P.M. on Thursday, March 14, 2019) I lost my Great Uncle, Jerry C. Gensel. I can't imagine what he sees right now! He is with the Lord in Heaven, and for eternity. See you soon, Uncle Jerry! Love you. 💓
if your day is turning nasty, overwhelming you, put your headphones on, dial this song up, sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and listen to the peace that will soon pour over you - the promise of 'home'. sc
I was fortunate to be able to see them in concert , wow ! Every song they do is so powerful . Can’t imagine no more sorrow no more pain . Looking forward to going home and seeing my mom but I still have work to do hear and raising my children. Jesus is the only true hope we have in this world . I believe his return is very soon . Until we meet again
Soon Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will return what a glorious day it will be live your life to his glory let all know that He is coming back and that we need to be ready.
Oh, thank you so much! I have not heard this song yet. I try to listen to MercyMe often. 'When I Finally Make It Home', I want to fall on my face and thank You, King Jesus, for saving my soul. I truly want to be absent from this body and present with the Lord." +
Amen. I've always wanted this song to play for me when I pass. My mother just recently passed and now I think of her when this song plays. When I finally make it home, mom.
I never met my birth mom, but several years ago learned a little bit about her. Then later on saw her obituary. This played at the end with pictures. I’m so very thankful and grateful that she gave birth to me. I’m sure it wasn’t easy with what she went through. I know some day when I make it home I will meet not only my Savior but my birth mom. Faith and family was what was important to her. That’s what turned out to be important to me also. Beautiful song!!!❤️❤️😊🙏🙏🤗
As my family prepares to celebrate the life of our dear brother Daniel, this song brings comfort to us especially the first few lines. I can see my brother wrapping his arms around our daddy's neck who we lost when my siblings were 3 - 11 years old. But then the rest of the song, I envision my brother seeing Jesus home for the first time in person. Jesus hugs him and says, welcome home my son. Then Jesus turns him around and says, there are someone who has been waiting for you - and it's our daddy, momma and nephew Micah. What an amazingly glorious time that must have been. Being in the presence of his heavenly father, my parents and nephew. Such a warmth in my heart I feel. And yes, Daniel, daddy is proud of the man you became and your heavenly father has loved you always and forever - No matter what! Our hearts are saddened but God promises we will see each other again. I love you - your little sister.
Ive never had a good relationship with my dad but just getting to heaven for me being with Jesus and everything and everyone in heaven is what I want 🙏
I lost my mom two years ago and my daddy 9 months ago and each day is harder than others but I know with gods help I know it’ll get a little easier each day!
Im gonna be 15 on Dec. 6th!!! Not the point but when I feel like im leading away from God I listen to this song and it really helps me relize that I said im going all in for God and I dont take breaks of being with him. And this song helps me get back on track if im not doing so well plz pray for me I did cut divorced parents court... God bless you all
it is great to see that at ur age u are trying to follow God tho, ur age is a good point. it gives hope. kids ur age these days are on completely different levels, mostly the wrong ones :/ God bless you!
I could put this on 'loop' and listen for a very long time. Such a reassuring peace and quiet beauty in the instrumentals and his voice. The lyrics are so beautiful and comforting, such that I feel serene and joy in my spirit. 🙌🙌🙌❤❤🙌🙌🙌
In all honesty, you never really truly understand this song until you lose your Dad :/ He wrote it about his Dad after he passed away.♥ Thank you MercyMe (and God), for helping me get through own Dad's death by writing songs like this :)
And when you think about it he has prepared so much for us but some of us as humans reject him but he loves us and he wants to have a relationship with him
BRENDA CARDENAS I find it hard to want to have a relationship with a God who has taken every person I've ever cared for. I consider myself a Christian but lately o just don't talk to him or see the good of him. I know I'm wrong to I'm just so mad at him deep down.
My dad passed away in October of 2005 and every time that I hear this song would remind me of him and how he's in heaven and waiting for me when my time comes to go to heaven
My father passed away on the 26th of November, 2022. Unfortunately, he passed before he could make his flight home. So my brother and I had to pick up his truck from the airport, and this song just so happened to be stuck playing the whole way home. Now my dad loved his heavy metal and rock, so I can't imagine this was what he was listening to when he pulled up to the airport. I'd like to think he left this as a message to us to not worry as he was home now. He was the most loving and devout father, friend, Christian, and soilder. This one's for you, dad. I'll miss you until my last breath when I see you again❤️
Love Mercy Me! 😍 These pics give me life! 🙌🏽 This song brings me calm and peace! ☺️ Can’t WAIT! We’re almost there...almost Home! ♥️ #hangintherebrosandsis 😘
My dad died when i was 17 didn't really get to know him until last 2 weeks of his life stayed at the hospital with him then my older brother came home man he hurt so bad see as fire me my grandparents raised me n my older sister bcuz they were always traveling an i have dextrocardia my heart is on the right side of my chest so was in n out of the hospital so much they thought i was going to die by by the grace of God im still here also the Dr's told me n my late wife that im not supposed to have any kids but thank you Jesus i have 1 son but i sure do miss my grandparents especially my grandfather rest in peace papa
My dad was on his deathbed at 67 years old - I was one of four daughters. I was telling him, reminding him of all the ways I showed I loved him. He looked up at me with his clear sky-blue eyes and said..."You always were my favorite." xoxoxoxoxox. This song makes me cry every time! Yes, it is such a great traveling song...xoxoxooxxo
Such a beautiful song that means so much to me, I cry everytime I hear it 😭 . Even though this song was released 10 years ago I'm just now commenting on it. It brings me back to when my children were little and the mistakes that I made that I know Christ Jesus will cover. I am sorrowful for them because they are not close to Christ because of the wrongs that I made, but I'm so thankful to Christ Jesus because He knows that I'm sorry for my wrongs and I trust Him to save them and bring them to Heaven our real home 🏡. I Love, Love, Love You Christ Jesus my Beautiful One that I Adore. Amen 👑✝️🕊💖🙏💌 ~PDZ~
I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck And tell him that I've missed him And tell him all about the man that I became And hope that it pleased him There's so much I want to say There's so much I want you to know When I finally make it home When I finally make it home Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King Frozen in my steps And all the questions that I swore I would ask Words just won't come yet So amazed at what I've seen So much more than this old mind can hold When I finally make it home When I finally make it home And the sweetest sound these ears have yet to hear The voices of the angels When I finally make it home When I finally make it home
"Gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck, and tell him how I missed him..." most 16 year old girls can't relate to that so real. I was 1 when my daddy went Home.
Taylor Morgan my dad passed away on this last 4th of July and this was a song I would always listen with him and I finally had the confidence to listen to it again
I love this song. IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO MY SPIRIT AND SOUL❤❤‼GOD BLESS EVERYONE WORLDWIDE, THIS NEEDS TO BE PLAYED OVER THE BIGGEST SPEAKERS SO ALL CAN HEAR‼✌
My wife, Christine Antoneo Smith went home suddenly 40 months ago. She was only 41. There hasn't been a day that I haven't tried to imagine what it was like to bow at Jesus feet and hear his say " stand up daughter" I know she is more than ok and happier than she ever was. People say, " she wants you to smile and be happy" " she's with you" I know I carry her in my heart and I always will but, I want to hold her hand and physically see her . As for smiling and being " happy" .... We weren't fake and I can't pretend to be something that I'm not.
This song reminds me of my grandpa that passed away three months ago. I wish he didn’t die at all and since he passed away, I felt lost, crying and my self esteem went down because he was the one that always told me good things about me. My parents do it as well. I miss him so much 😭❤️
I love you all as I live myself. GOD will not love you more than he does right now. If I where to grasp a handful of sand, and in that sand each granule say something about you.(example): your beautiful,your kind, loving,merciful,gentle,precious,ect. until the sand was gone. Then you would say... wow he is head over heels for ME! Yet GOD says:"I LOVE YOU MORE THAN THE SANDS OF THE EARTH!" I will never..leave you, nor...forsake you. "I AM!" THE BEGINNING AND THE END! THE FIRST AND THE LAST! OMNISENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT! AGAIN:"I AM!" there is no equal! I will never love you more than I do right now! amen!!!
I LOVE JESUS ❤️ AND ALWAYS PRAYING TO REBUKE WHAT IS UNPLEASING in his eyes about me because I want to be his sheep and not a goat....I'm in a relationship with him and I'm always checking myself and praying that I'm always pleasing my GOD.
God is great and good Christ made me start tapping back into his word gives me life and hope everyday that I wake up is another chance and day to do right thank you God because u saved my life shield me from the evil people my protector and provider 2020
who ever you are tanks....! you just brought me to tears . after midnight it's their anniversary gone from this world and the other one's birthday ! it's like you knew I was in pain right now at this moment !!!
As I replay this song and write you . I pray for them , for me which I'm lost in this world . And for you . We're gonna be alright .. As these storms pass thru . The sun will shine again my friend ...
I got in a car accident when I was eight , this was the song playing in the car when it happened , very traumatic and I should’ve died 5holes throughout my organs and my large and small intestines were ripped in half all caused by a seat belt but God saved me and Jesus came that day .. I’m now 20 and relistening to this makes me feel so many things .. god is so good . I am so blessed to live for him 💕 don’t forget to wear your seat belts everyday !!
Chris Jarvis Come back and give it another round! if you are willing to carry the cross and share in His suffering it will not be in vain. He truly is listening and longing to reconcile with you. True love in the deepest sense HURTS. Like basic training I promise you it will be sweeter later. Nothing happens by accident; its all by the providence of God! May His spirit descend upon you and all!
Then you didn't know him well nobody that has a strong relationship can just turn there back completely I've known a few but they didn't keep a healthy relationship
My aunt passed away recently R.I.P Aunt Cheryl you were a special person and very spiritual she's with jesus now in a better place with her dad and her brother and all the family that passed away hopefully one day ill make it to heaven I owes think I'm going to hell because I sin sometimes but I ask for forgiveness after I have a porn addiction pray for me please love you all so does jesus :)
Hi, I feel happy for your aunt and family. They are truly blessed to be home with God. About lust-addiction though, I admit that have it. I really suffered from the addiction too... I felt as if I were separating from God. That was, until I learnt of something amazing. I learned about God's saving grace. Here's a link that explains it: www.whatisgrace.net/saving-grace-does-god-saving-require-a-change-lifestyle/ Matthew 19::26- But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. I will pray for you. God bless. :)
My dad passed away when I was only four, but I still remember him, and this song is so relevant to my situation. My dad was a hard worker and owned his own business - so am and so do I.

I had a wonderful dream about him a few years ago when I went back in time when he was still living and I was of the age I am now.

Denny Silva That's amazing. My son is 4 and this made my tear up. Hope you're having a nice day today, stranger.
God bless you Denny. Thank you for sharing that. ❤
Praise GOD
Amen Denny. Thank God that your trusting Him even though you could turn away. My dad just passed away at 57 years old. Hard worker. His whole life. I know I’ll never be as good a father as he was. Amazing he was..I forgive and trust God in his plan for taking my dad so soon. Such a God fearing faithful man. Could have ask for a better dad. 😭🙏🏻❤️
Did you really remember him that young at 4 ?
My dad passed away two months ago and we found a piece of paper with almost fifty songs on it. This was one of them. I miss you, daddy.
My prayers will be with you.
You'll see him again. I promise.
ignitedsoul 😥
Charles Edward Lund. My dad.
2nd. Generation Swedish immigrants.
Hard working. First to turn the soil on our farm.
Oh how do I explain??
I owe so much to him and to my mom who died at 37 years.
I am so blessed!!
If only all could have the wonderful family that I had!!!
Main structure was our faith based foundation.
John 3:16
Aww
I hope you're well
God bless you
Jesus loves you
This song makes me want to go home & be with Him right now.
I love you Jesus. Not my will but your will be done.
Right... 💛💛💛
Amen
Come soon Lord Jesus!
Amen brothers and sisters ❤
My late husband loved this song.. and he loved God.. you’re home Andre. Rest in Paradise ❤
I went on a drive and played this in my car and it’s very beautiful out today. Teared up instantly. Gods creation is so beautiful!
I cried too
This played in my head during my grandmother's memorial service.
*RIP My Grandmother Ruth Golembiewski.*

If Only I could be there with him right now! I think it will be just like a soldier homecoming after going to war... Ill hold him tight and feel his embrace,look into his eyes..feel his scent and abandon myself in his amazing grace...

RIP Matt Hazlewood my good friend and brother in Christ i love and miss terribly
Just a few hours ago today (it's 4:44 P.M. on Thursday, March 14, 2019) I lost my Great Uncle, Jerry C. Gensel. I can't imagine what he sees right now! He is with the Lord in Heaven, and for eternity. See you soon, Uncle Jerry! Love you. 💓
if your day is turning nasty, overwhelming you, put your headphones on, dial this song up, sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and listen to the peace that will soon pour over you - the promise of 'home'. sc
I was fortunate to be able to see them in concert , wow ! Every song they do is so powerful . Can’t imagine no more sorrow no more pain . Looking forward to going home and seeing my mom but I still have work to do hear and raising my children. Jesus is the only true hope we have in this world . I believe his return is very soon . Until we meet again
Soon Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will return what a glorious day it will be live your life to his glory let all know that He is coming back and that we need to be ready.
Oh, thank you so much! I have not heard this song yet. I try to listen to MercyMe often. 'When I Finally Make It Home', I want to fall on my face and thank You, King Jesus, for saving my soul. I truly want to be absent from this body and present with the Lord." +
Amen.
I've always wanted this song to play for me when I pass. My mother just recently passed and now I think of her when this song plays. When I finally make it home, mom.
I lost my beloved mom 3 weeks ago and I feel comfort knowing she is home with our Lord and Saviour. Praying we meet again.
I never met my birth mom, but several years ago learned a little bit about her. Then later on saw her obituary. This played at the end with pictures. I’m so very thankful and grateful that she gave birth to me. I’m sure it wasn’t easy with what she went through. I know some day when I make it home I will meet not only my Savior but my birth mom. Faith and family was what was important to her. That’s what turned out to be important to me also. Beautiful song!!!❤️❤️😊🙏🙏🤗
As my family prepares to celebrate the life of our dear brother Daniel, this song brings comfort to us especially the first few lines. I can see my brother wrapping his arms around our daddy's neck who we lost when my siblings were 3 - 11 years old. But then the rest of the song, I envision my brother seeing Jesus home for the first time in person. Jesus hugs him and says, welcome home my son. Then Jesus turns him around and says, there are someone who has been waiting for you - and it's our daddy, momma and nephew Micah. What an amazingly glorious time that must have been. Being in the presence of his heavenly father, my parents and nephew. Such a warmth in my heart I feel.
And yes, Daniel, daddy is proud of the man you became and your heavenly father has loved you always and forever - No matter what! Our hearts are saddened but God promises we will see each other again. I love you - your little sister.
When someone you love dies, it’s not saying “Goodbye”
It’s saying
“See you later”
AMEN HALLELUJAH TO LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD
Our Pastor passed away today.We are sad but at the same time we are happy that he is finally home.
Iris Laureano I am praying for you and your chucrh 🙏

Yeah, its true :D
Heartfelt song especially when your Loved One just made it home.❤❤

i used to listen to this song some years ago. and today i couldn't stop thinking about it. ❤
this is the first time I listened to this song without crying. I love it.!
Such a wonderful song to the Lord! Makes me cry every time I sing it.

My dad died when i was 17 didn't really get to know him until last 2 weeks of his life stayed at the hospital with him then my older brother came home man he hurt so bad see as fire me my grandparents raised me n my older sister bcuz they were always traveling an i have dextrocardia my heart is on the right side of my chest so was in n out of the hospital so much they thought i was going to die by by the grace of God im still here also the Dr's told me n my late wife that im not supposed to have any kids but thank you Jesus i have 1 son but i sure do miss my grandparents especially my grandfather rest in peace papa
My dad was on his deathbed at 67 years old - I was one of four daughters. I was telling him, reminding him of all the ways I showed I loved him. He looked up at me with his clear sky-blue eyes and said..."You always were my favorite." xoxoxoxoxox. This song makes me cry every time! Yes, it is such a great traveling song...xoxoxooxxo
Such a beautiful song that means so much to me, I cry everytime I hear it 😭 . Even though this song was released 10 years ago I'm just now commenting on it. It brings me back to when my children were little and the mistakes that I made that I know Christ Jesus will cover. I am sorrowful for them because they are not close to Christ because of the wrongs that I made, but I'm so thankful to Christ Jesus because He knows that I'm sorry for my wrongs and I trust Him to save them and bring them to Heaven our real home 🏡. I Love, Love, Love You Christ Jesus my Beautiful One that I Adore. Amen 👑✝️🕊💖🙏💌 ~PDZ~
I just got done with my grandmother's funeral and this song was played at her funeral and this makes me feel like she is right by me 😢❤❤❤
This is so gorgeous. I need to get this CD. I thought I had them all!
I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck
And tell him that I've missed him
And tell him all about the man that I became
And hope that it pleased him
There's so much I want to say
There's so much I want you to know
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King
Frozen in my steps
And all the questions that I swore I would ask
Words just won't come yet
So amazed at what I've seen
So much more than this old mind can hold
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
And the sweetest sound these ears have yet to hear
The voices of the angels
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
That’s beautiful. This song hits me so hard
"VOICES ON THE ANGELS"......(Love that part)
When Im finally home home with my God Savior and friend Jesus Christ
"Gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck, and tell him how I missed him..." most 16 year old girls can't relate to that so real. I was 1 when my daddy went Home.
talking about jesus dah doing
we are in the same boat my passed away when I was 1 as well.
I miss him!
Taylor Morgan my dad passed away on this last 4th of July and this was a song I would always listen with him and I finally had the confidence to listen to it again
Taylor Morgan i was 11 and that opener gets me everytime

I can't wait until I make it home
I can’t stop listening to this

GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING A BLESSING IN MY LIFE WITH YOURS BLESSEDS PRAISES SINCE 2015,MERCYME!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. The Father gives all knowledge. Including remembrance. Thank you Lord for this song.
I love this song. IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO MY SPIRIT AND SOUL❤❤‼GOD BLESS EVERYONE WORLDWIDE, THIS NEEDS TO BE PLAYED OVER THE BIGGEST SPEAKERS SO ALL CAN HEAR‼✌
I love this song. It touched my heart. I'm crying tears of joy.
My wife, Christine Antoneo Smith went home suddenly 40 months ago. She was only 41. There hasn't been a day that I haven't tried to imagine what it was like to bow at Jesus feet and hear his say " stand up daughter"
I know she is more than ok and happier than she ever was.
People say, " she wants you to smile and be happy" " she's with you"
I know I carry her in my heart and I always will but, I want to hold her hand and physically see her . As for smiling and being " happy" ....
We weren't fake and I can't pretend to be something that I'm not.
One of my favorite songs...
This song reminds me of my grandpa that passed away three months ago. I wish he didn’t die at all and since he passed away, I felt lost, crying and my self esteem went down because he was the one that always told me good things about me. My parents do it as well. I miss him so much 😭❤️
My dad just died Thursday evening . The best song for him. He make it home.
I love you all as I live myself. GOD will not love you more than he does right now. If I where to grasp a handful of sand, and in that sand each granule say something about you.(example): your beautiful,your kind, loving,merciful,gentle,precious,ect. until the sand was gone. Then you would say... wow he is head over heels for ME! Yet GOD says:"I LOVE YOU MORE THAN THE SANDS OF THE EARTH!" I will never..leave you, nor...forsake you. "I AM!" THE BEGINNING AND THE END! THE FIRST AND THE LAST! OMNISENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT! AGAIN:"I AM!" there is no equal! I will never love you more than I do right now! amen!!!
this song makes me cry every time
My favorite Mercy Me song!
this song brings me peace when In start missing my recently departed grandpa
I LOVE JESUS ❤️ AND ALWAYS PRAYING TO REBUKE WHAT IS UNPLEASING in his eyes about me because I want to be his sheep and not a goat....I'm in a relationship with him and I'm always checking myself and praying that I'm always pleasing my GOD.

It was no coincidence. I'm in pain as well. Your comment really touched me. the Father told me to speak. I'm glad I could help comfort you.

How glorious that day will be. ❤️
My Daddy passed away almost three years ago from Parkinsons disease. I was a Daddy's girl! I long for Heaven!
This song plays whenever I think of my dad. He and my mom got divorced back in 2021. I miss him so much. 👨❤🖤
thank you for making this song. I really need it.
Made me cry awesome amazing song
I got in a car accident when I was eight , this was the song playing in the car when it happened , very traumatic and I should’ve died 5holes throughout my organs and my large and small intestines were ripped in half all caused by a seat belt but God saved me and Jesus came that day .. I’m now 20 and relistening to this makes me feel so many things .. god is so good . I am so blessed to live for him 💕 don’t forget to wear your seat belts everyday !!
I was internally bleeding for almost two hours straight ..
I'm a former Christian and I at least see the hope in the lyrics. Anything said beyond hope is out of my realm of reality.
Come back Brother, home back!!!!! I also saw Jesus in 2010! a please come back!!!!
***** Amen Brother!!!!!
Chris Jarvis Come back and give it another round! if you are willing to carry the cross and share in His suffering it will not be in vain. He truly is listening and longing to reconcile with you. True love in the deepest sense HURTS. Like basic training I promise you it will be sweeter later. Nothing happens by accident; its all by the providence of God! May His spirit descend upon you and all!
Chris Jarvis what made you give it up?
Then you didn't know him well nobody that has a strong relationship can just turn there back completely I've known a few but they didn't keep a healthy relationship
My favorite song for when I’m on my way home. ABBA Father I’ll see you son
Miss you everyday Daddy my best friend.
I love my daddy so much this is the song that takes me to painter Alabama
I can't wait to go home.. blessed my sweet home
Awesome song it touches my heart
Bless the Lord!
I miss my daddy so much!!
Love this song.❤❤❤
Beautiful bring tears
Mom, rest in paradise!!! AMEN
My aunt passed away recently R.I.P Aunt Cheryl you were a special person and very spiritual she's with jesus now in a better place with her dad and her brother and all the family that passed away hopefully one day ill make it to heaven I owes think I'm going to hell because I sin sometimes but I ask for forgiveness after I have a porn addiction pray for me please love you all so does jesus :)
Hi, I feel happy for your aunt and family. They are truly blessed to be home with God.
About lust-addiction though, I admit that have it. I really suffered from the addiction too... I felt as if I were separating from God.
That was, until I learnt of something amazing. I learned about God's saving grace.
Here's a link that explains it: www.whatisgrace.net/saving-grace-does-god-saving-require-a-change-lifestyle/
Matthew 19::26- But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
I will pray for you.
God bless. :)
