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
