Temporary Home

I was walking home from college a few days back listening to my music when this song came into play.  It's a song by Carrie Underwood and this song gave me goosebumps--not because of the music, but because of the lyrics.  It opened my eyes to my life on Earth...how it's so temporary and how we will go to our permanent home.

Reflect on the lyrics and you can listen to it on the music player...just select it.  This is my favorite song now.

Little boy, 6 years old 

A little too used to bein' alone 

Another new mom and dad,another school 

Another house that'll never be home 

When people ask him how he likes this place 

He looks up and says with a smile upon his face 

"This is my temporary home 

It's not where I belong 

Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through 

This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going 

I'm not afraid because I know this is my 

Temporary Home." 

Young mom on her own 

She needs a little help got nowhere to go 

She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out 

Because a half-way house will never be a home

At night she whispers to her baby girl 

Someday we'll find a place here in this world 

"This is our temporary home 

It's not where we belong 

Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going 

I'm not afraid because I know this is our 

Temporary Home." 

Old man, hospital bed 

The room is filled with people he loves 

And he whispers don't cry for me 

I'll see you all someday 

He looks up and says "I can see God's face." 

"This is my temporary Home 

It's not where I belong 

Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through 

This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going 

I'm not afraid because I know this was 

My temporary home." 

This is our temporary home 

It almost brought tears to my eyes...I pray it would wake you up to...

I thank God for Carrie Underwood--how she has influenced the world with her songs while still crediting the Creator.
