1 ‘Tis heaven on earth since Jesus came in,
Renewing my life, forgiving my sin;
O’erflowing my cup with joy from above,
And flooding my life with love.

Refrain:
That’s heaven, just heaven,
Real heaven on earth with Jesus,
His pow’r makes me whole,
His love fills my soul
‘Tis heaven on earth with Jesus.

2 To walk with the Lord, to know His sweet will,
To learn when to speak and when to be still;
To go ev’ry day where He’d have me go,
Is heaven on earth below. [Refrain]

3 To feed on His word, to tell of His fame,
To do all I do in His blessed name;
And no other King but Jesus to know
To me is a heav’n below. [Refrain]
