Heaven Is Here

I’ve heard about a place, that its beauty seems surreal
And all you find is peace, evil has no home out there
A place I long to be, to be home at last.
But I don’t know when it will be, when I’ll be there.

But while I’m here just yet, I can’t help but to think
That I can start to live, enjoy the purity
‘Cause when I see hands joining forces
Voices singing praises glory
I see angels celebrating
It is heaven coming to us

While I’m still here, I can enjoy the blessing of that home
If my life’s motto is “What would Jesus do right now?”
Amidst the strife and pain, I can find peace in Him
I daily give my heart, myself to Jesus Christ.

Chorus:
Heaven is here
If I take time to praise the Lord
Heaven is here
If I take time to kneel and pray
Heaven is here
If to forgive I’ve learned to do
If Jesus is near
Then He brings heaven to us
We can start heaven here

For heaven can’t exist without Him
And peace cannot exist without Him
Without Him all the riches of creation fade into ashes
Why have a sea of glass without Him?
And flowers that don’t wilt without Him?
And why have life eternal, if it’s not in the presence of the Lord?
And once again I say
Heaven starts here if Jesus is with us!

Chorus

If Jesus is near
Then He brings heaven to us
We can start heaven here
