And rise
I will rise

6. Homesick by MercyMe
You're in a better place
I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times
I've rejoiced for you

The reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
7. Someone Worth Dying For by Mikeschair
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?

That You don't see and You don't know
Yeah, I wanna believe
Jesus, help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for

What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.

No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

When the dark surrendered to the risen light
Oh, praise the Savior, Jesus Christ
The death of death is Your victory

We will be with them far longer than we were without
No doubt, no more tears in our eyes
In that beautiful, wonderful, hello after goodbye

If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore

And I will stand in the wake of victory
So then come what may
I'll follow all the way
'Cause death has no power over me

But I know it's only for a little while
Run up ahead and I will catch up
'Cause I'm gonna see you when tomorrow comes
On the other side
On the other side
