In childhood I heard about heaven
I wondered if it could be true
that there were sweet mansions eternal
somewhere up there beyond the blue
I wondered if people really go there
then one day sweet jesus came in
and i got a vision of heaven
my soul through all heaven will stay
Chorus
Heaven (background singers)
Heaven (background singers)
Oh it makes me feel like travelin on
Heaven (background singers)
Heaven (background singers)
I'm so glad it's real
Then I got a vision of heaven
my sould is o'er flowing with love
my heart like the saviors is broken
for those that will miss that home above
then a voice from the hills of judeah
still ringing words of sweet release
worldly attractions don't thrill me
my soul stands a chance of relief
Chorus
