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

Oh, this is like Heaven to me (Praise God!) Yes! This is like Heaven to me; I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land, And this is like Heaven to me.

Oh, when I get happy, I sing and I shout, The devil don't believe it, I see; But I'm filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt, And that's what's the matter with me.

Oh, this is like Heaven to me (Praise God!) Yes! This is like Heaven to me; I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land, And this is like Heaven to me.
