Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Somewhere just across the Jordan River

Is a place of everlasting joy and peace

Where the stream of life is flowing there forever

And the crown of life is waiting there for me


That sounds like home to me

Right where I want to be

There'll be no tears to fill our eyes again

The hills will echo with the story

As we sing of his grace and glory

Where the saints of God will be

That sounds like home to me


They say there's only joy inside that city

And little children playing by the tree of life

No pain no disappointments there will hurt us

And Jesus Christ himself will be the light


That sounds like home to me

Like where I want to be

There'll be no tears to fill our eyes again

The hills will echo with the story

As we sing of His grace and glory

Where the saints of God will be

That sounds like home to me 

(Repeat)
