Heavenly Places

Every morning when I wake up
And see the sun a-shinin' above
I can almost taste that sunshine
And feel His wonderful love
Some people say it soon will be passing
But I know that it's come here to stay
I've got a little of heaven
I'm getting more with each passin' day

I've never seen the heavenly places
Oh, but I'm sure He's preparing me one
I've got that Spirit within me
'Cause I believe in His Son
And someday, I'll cross that old rivеr
But for now, I'll just enjoy
The heavеnly places I have right now

O Lord, I know that I'll live forever
Because of Jesus, I'll never die
And I've just got to tell everybody
I've got the tell the reason why
I know that if the world should perish
His promises will be ever true
And you can be assured of His presence
Oh, a change will surely come over you

I've never seen the heavenly places
But I'm sure He's preparing me one
I've got that Spirit within me
'Cause I believe in His Son
Someday, I'll cross that old river
But for now, I'll just enjoy
The heavenly places
The heavenly places, uh-huh
(I enjoy the heavenly places)
The heavenly places I have right now
