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.
