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.

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 us home,
Oh, that will be heaven to me.

Chorus:
(Verses 1&2)
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.

(Verse 3)
Oh, that will like heaven to me;
Yes, that will like heaven to me;
A cloud of bright angels to carry me home,
And that will like heaven to me.
