🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from aboveIf I count all the blessings from the storehouse of loveI’d simply ask for a favor of him beyond mortal kingAnd I’m sure that he’d grant it againI want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad dayWhen all our troubles and heartaches are vanished awayThen we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are newI want to stroll over Heaven with youSo many places of beauty we long to see here belowBut time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you knowBut come the morning of the rapture together we’ll stand anewWhile I stroll over Heaven with youI want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad dayWhen all our troubles and heartaches are vanished awayThen we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are newI want to stroll over Heaven with you
