Story Behind The Song
Don Carlson came up with this unique title and idea. Many of us are not millionaires here on this earth; more precious, we are million heirs rich with spiritual blessings and gifts.
Song Description
There is a promise of a heavenly mansion and so many
other wonderful treasures we cannot imagine waiting for us when we reach our heavenly home. All children of God are royalty in his sight. We may never have the riches here on this earth (such as gold and money) but riches untold are in store for us after this physical world.

Lyrics
I'M A MILLION HEIR
I'm a million heir
No sparkling diamonds, no shiny pearls
All my riches are not of this world
Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard
Of treasures laid up for those who obey His word
CHORUS: I'm a million heir
I'm a child of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ
I became a million heir when he laid down his life
Got a mansion in heaven, a yacht by the crystal sea
Streets of gold, walls of jasper are waiting for me
I'm a million heir
I'm a million heir
No large bank account, hard times paying my bills
I trust the one who owns the cattle and all the hills
Got something more precious money cannot buy
Eternal salvation, a dwelling place beyond the sky
CHORUS: I'm a million heir
I'm a child of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ
I became a million heir when he laid down his life
Got a mansion in heaven, a yacht by the crystal sea
Streets of gold, walls of jasper are waiting for me
I'm a million heir
