this is like heaven to me

i find many people who can't understand

why i'm so happy and free

i've crossed over jordan to canaan's fair land

and this is like heaven to me

oh

this is like heaven to me

yes

this is like heaven to me

i've crossed over jordan to canaan's fair land

and this is like heaven to me

i've heard the sweet music

the heavenly chords

from gloryland over the sea

the soul-thrilling message from jesus

my lord

and this is like heaven to me

oh

this is like heaven to me

yes

this is like heaven to me

the soul-thrilling message from jesus

my lord

and this is like heaven to me

i'm looking for jesus in glory to come

from gloryland over the sea

a cloud of bright angels to carry me home

and that will be heaven to me

oh

that will be heaven to me

yes

that will be heaven to me

a cloud of bright angels to carry me home

and that will be heaven to me
