[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 2]
I've heard the sweet music, the heavenly chords
From glory-land over the sea
The soul-thrilling message from Jesus, my Lord
And this is like heaven to me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
