Heaven is Real

Written by: Nancy Clark Banfield

Verse I

I’ve heard of a land that lies beyond this life we know

Whose beauty and splendor cannot be imagined or told

Though my eyes cannot see or my hands cannot touch it or feel

I plan to go there for I know that Heaven is real

Chorus

Heaven is real, it’s as real as the air we breathe

Heaven is real, for the Bible says and I believe

There is a place prepared for the pure and the free

And how my heart thrills to know Heaven is real

Verse II

But if gates there weren’t pearl, if streets of that city weren’t gold

And if my glorious mansion were only a humble abode

Oh, I’d still want to go for that’s where my soul longs to be

For my Savior is there, and that makes it Heaven for me

Repeat chorus, then

And how my heart thrills, to know that Heaven is real
