Sweet Heaven in My View

Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujer!
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet heaven in my view.

Oh, my mother, she died and left me.
I'm alone in this world, I'm alone
And my father, he won't own me
Got to find me another home.

Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujer!
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet heaven in my view.

Oh, you need not talk about me
Just because I am crippled and blind
For I've got my ticket purchased
I'll reach heaven just on time.

Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujer!
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet heaven in my view.

(Instrumental break)

And when I get to heaven
Take a seat and sit right down
Looking up to my heavenly father
Looking for a robe and a crown.

Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujah!
On my journey I press on, praise the Lord
For I'm bound for that holy city
Got sweet heaven in my view.
