We find many people
who can’t understand
Why we are so happy and free.
We’ve crossed over Jordan
to Canaan’s fair land,
And this is like Heaven to me.
So when we are happy
we sing and we shout.
Some don’t understand us, I see.
We’re filled with the Spirit,
there isn’t a doubt,
And this is like Heaven to me.
We’ve heard the sweet music,
the heavenly chord,
From glory land over the sea;
A soul thrilling message
from Jesus, our Lord,
And this is like Heaven to me.
We’re looking for Jesus
with glory to come;
’Tis Jesus Who died on the tree.
A cloud of bright angels
to carry me home—
O that will be Heaven to me.
