Lyrics
Heaven
Intro:
Searching for heaven, searching for heaven, searching for heaven. Heaven (He is the word, He's the word, He's the word. Yes He is, Jesus is who I needed.)
Verse:
If you're like me, you've often wondered why
It seems like folks who don't live for God
Have everything they want. I'm struggling to get by
But I'm His child so why is it so hard?
Pre-Hook:
God said, "Don't worry. (You shouldn't worry, no) Life is temporary. You're focused on the wrong things. Just live for Me. (Just live for Jesus) In the end you'll see that I'm gonna give you everything."
Hook:
My whole life, (I've been searching) I've been searching for heaven, it's right here in front of me. My whole life, (I've been chasing) I've been chasing after something that's been right here in front of me.
Verse:
It took me a while to see how God was building me.
He was slowly removing me from the world.
I just wanna be all He asks of me.
I'm gonna live my life just for Him. He's my peace.
Pre-Hook:
God said, "Don't worry. (You shouldn't worry, no) Life is temporary. You're focused on the wrong things. Just live for Me. (Just live for Jesus) In the end you'll see that I'm gonna give you everything."
Hook:
My whole life, (I've been searching) I've been searching for heaven, it's right here in front of me. My whole life, (I've been chasing) I've been chasing after something that's been right here in front of me.
Bridge:
Give God the glory He deserves. (He deserves it) Our riches are in heaven, not here on earth. Don't waste your time (Don't waste your time) trying to please the world (Pleasing the world). God is the only One that you and me should live for.
Hook:
My whole life, (I've been searching) I've been searching for heaven, it's right here in front of me. My whole life, (I've been chasing) I've been chasing after something that's been right here in front of me.
Hook:
My whole life, (I've been searching) I've been searching for heaven, it's right here in front of me. My whole life, (I've been chasing) I've been chasing after something that's been right here in front of me.
Bridge:
Give God the glory He deserves. (He deserves it) Our riches are in heaven, not here on earth. Don't waste your time (Don't waste your time) trying to please the world (Pleasing the world). God is the only One that you and me should live for.
Outro:
Searching for heaven, searching for heaven, searching for heaven. Heaven (He is the word, He's the word, He's the word. Yes He is, Jesus is who I needed.)
