Jay Earl Krebs - Heaven Above Lyrics

I don't mean to smile in the midst of angry men
And I don't mean to dance for joy in a world weighed down with sin
And I know sometimes you see a distant look in my eyes
Well my mind just starts to wonder thinking about paradise

And I know there's a river flowing through that city
And I know I want to go there, I'd like to see you go with me
Heaven above
It's more than you could ever dream of
Perfect joy, perfect rest, perfect love
Heaven above

And I don't mean to sing in the midst of all the sorrow
It's just the light of His countenance giving me hope for tomorrow
And I do read the papers every now and then
They're just telling me we're getting closer to the final AMEN

And I know there's a river flowing through that city
And I know I want to go there, I'd like to see you go with me
Heaven above
It's more than you could ever dream of
Perfect joy, perfect rest, perfect love
Heaven above

You know what?
The moment we set foot there
All our questions will be answered
In the beauty of His holiness... Yes

We'll come into His throne room
Worship Him forever
Can't wait to get there, oh
Heaven above
Talkin' about Heaven, oh yeah
Singin' about Heaven, oh yeah
Dancin' about Heaven

Heaven above
I know, I know It's more than I could ever dream of
Perfect joy, perfect rest, perfect love
Heaven above

Heaven above
Oh, I know it's filled with God's everlasting love
Perfect joy, perfect rest, perfect love
Heaven above, Ooooooo
