“I’ve written several songs about Heaven over the years, but Homesick for Heaven may be the one that moves me the most,” shares Phil Wickham. “It all started with a line that came out while writing: “I want to see my children run to Your arms.” That image lit something inside of me—a deep ache and a deeper hope. The thought of my kids experiencing the presence, joy, and healing of Jesus—it undid me. And it reminded me: every human heart was made for that. We were created to walk with God, to live in the fullness of His love, forever. Heaven isn’t just a distant dream—it’s the truest home, where Jesus reigns, sorrow is no more, and death is gone for good. That promise stirs me—not just for the future, but for how I live right now. I pray this song breathes hope into the brokenhearted and puts wind in the sails of those who are longing for more. This one carries eternity in it.”
