Oh, way over Jordan,
  View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
  Oh, view the heav'nly land.

1. I want to go to heaven when I die!
     View the land, view the land;
   To shout salvation as I fly,
     Oh, view the heav'nly land.

2. Old Satan's mad, and I am glad,
     View the land, view the land;
   He miss'd that soul he thought he had,
     O view the heav'nly land.
   Oh, way over Jordan, &c.

3. You say you're aiming for the skies,
     View the land, view the land;
   Why don't you stop your telling lies?
     O view the heav'nly land.
   Oh, way over Jordan, &c.

4. You say your Lord has set you free,
     View the land, view the land;
   Why don't you let your neighbours be?
     O view the heav'nly land.
   Oh, way over Jordan, &c.
