Couple Performs ‘I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before’ In Their Living Room

A musically talented couple performs a tune about nearing and looking into their eternal home from the comfort of a loveseat in their living room.

No one knows how much time they have on this earth. It’s simply an impossible measure to gauge. People can be here one minute and then gone the next. James 4:14 describes our lives as “a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”

In a video posted on YouTube, one couple – Dan and Amanda – give an outstanding performance of the gospel favorite “I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before.”

In the short clip, Dan plays the keyboard and sings most of the song. Amanda, on the other hand, strums along on the guitar and shoulders some singing duties. She joins in on the track’s lovely and memorable chorus.

“I can see my Father standing at the door
This world has been a wilderness
I’m ready for deliverance
Lord, I’ve never been this homesick before”

The song’s second verse mentions how the songwriter has been given the opportunity to look at heaven. What they spot are members of their family who have gone on ahead of them, but they are no longer old, sick or feeble. Because of this, they long to be in heaven and reunite with their family and friends. 

This is hardly the only song that Dan and Amanda have performed. On their YouTube channel, videos can be found of the two of them singing other songs like “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” “Everybody Ought to Know," “Away in a Manger" and others. 

Dan and Amanda, with their lovely performances, hope to “bless and encourage others through simple gospel music,” according to their YouTube channel. 

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
