I find many people who can't understand
Why i am 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 chorus
From glory land over the sea
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 glory land over the sea
A cloud of bright angels to carry me home
And that will be heaven to me
