1 My soul is living in sunlight, and I'm going along,
Rejoicing, daily I'm singing, always singing a song;
O yes, I'm doing my best to shun the pathway of wrong,
It's just like heaven for Jesus is near.

Chorus:
My sins are gone, I'm going on,
In the light from heav'n, from the heav'ns above.
The King of kings is by my side, He will safely guide,
I'll follow Him without a fear, there is naught to fear;
Hallelujah! I am happy going onward,
And I know I shall not go astray;
'Tis sweetest joy to know that wherever I may go,
It's just like heaven, for Jesus is near.

2 My soul is singing the story of my Savior each day,
And I am clinging still closer ev'ry step of the way,
I know that Jesus will guide me and from Him I'll not stray,
It's just like heaven, for Jesus is near. [Chorus]

3 I'm drawing nearer and nearer to the coveted goal,
And daily Jesus is with me, keeping watch o'er my soul,
While ev'ry step of my journey He doth safely control,
It's just like heaven, for Jesus is near. [Chorus]
