pain

oh, how I long for Heaven.


Oh, come
Oh, come Emmanuel
And, Ransom Captive Israel,

that mourns in lonely exile here.

  1. That song is so incredibly sad, yet hopeful; near, and yet so far away; and I feel like we see and feel the effects of sin and see how far we are from perfection, and realize how distant we truly are from what was meant for us. And I find that we have this longing for release, and desire for freedom, and this recognition of the fact that we were made for something so much more beautiful and fulfilling...ransom us...take us back to where we belong; where we are home. because we do mourn...sometimes more than others...
