A Delaying Hope

With finals here and upon me, I am knowing the feeling that I want to be done.
Even if I skip the final, I'll pass the class.
Why can't I go home now?
Then I listen to 'Homesick' by MercyMe, and realize the bigger desire: How long must I be here on this earth?
I'm already saved and secure.
Why can't I go home now?

How long must I be on this earth
to serve mankind?
to bear the pain of life?
to bear the pain of others?

Give me Your love strongly enough
to love the world with Your love;
Lord, please let me love others enough
to live for them.

Oh, that I can feel Your hand even now,
while in betrothal,
before You complete Your vows.
