I
THERE'S A LAND IN VIEW CALLED HEAVEN
WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES.
A PLACE WHERE A BODY KNOWS NO PAIN.
I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT ALL THE BEAUTY I'LL BEHOLD.
I LONG TO KNOW THE OTHER HALF THAT'S NEVER YET BEEN TOLD.
II
I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT NOW AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
I'LL SEE LOVED ONES THAT I HAVE LONGED TO SEE.
I CAN SEE THE ANGELS GATHERING THEY'RE WAITING TO WELCOME ME.
WHEN I CROSS OLD CHILLY JORDAN HEAVEN WILL BE HOME FOR ME.
CHORUS
OH I'M SO HOMESICK FOR THIS PLACE CALLED HOME.
I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT A MANSION ALL MY OWN.
BESIDE THAT CRYSTAL RIVER BEYOND THOSE GATES OF PEARL.
SOUNDS MORE LIKE HOME TO ME THAN THIS OLD WORLD.
