v.1
In childhood I heard of a 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 toward Heaven I'll send

Chorus:
Heaven, (happy home above)
Heaven (land of peace and love)
Oh, it makes me feel like travellin' on
Heaven (supernal), Heaven (eternal)
I'm so glad it's real

v.2
Then I got a vision of Heaven, my soul is o'erflowing with love
My heart, like the Savior's, is broken for friends that would miss that home above

Then a voice from the hills of Judea, still ringin' with words of sweet relief
Words of attraction don't thrill me my soul had a change of belief

Rpt. Ch.
