Lyrics:
“I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You”
If I could count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I’d simply ask for a favor of Him beyond mortal kin
And I’m sure that He’d grant it againI want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
So many places of beauty we long to see here below
But times and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
But come the morning of the rapture together we’ll stand anew
Then we’ll stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
