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 [Instrumental break] 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 [Instrumental break] 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.
