Phil Wickham - Heaven Song Lyrics






You wrote a letter and You signed Your name
I read ever word Read it page by page
You said that You’d be coming
Coming for me soon
Oh my God I’ll be ready for You

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
Well done my child enter in, in rest
As tears of joy roll down my cheek
It’s beautiful beyond my wildest dreams

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can’t wait to join the angels and sing
Oh I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

    I found this song when I was going through a dark phase in my life. I was at a point of giving up. It spoke to me, expressing all that I couldn't put into words. This walk has not been easy but worth it

    This is some of the most anointed worship I have heard. The spirit of God is in this worship! Thank you Phil for this!

    M.... B....

    He really was! 😌
    Most of the students from my Bible College drove an hour to be there for this - Jesus was lifted high and cried out to and glorified!
    How amazing is His unexpected phenomenal, monumental grace!

    In Heaven in His arms - how incredible that He becons us to come to Him with all my consistent disobedience and shame, failures, uselessness and grief!!!

    To be in His presence forevermore always satisfied! Always at peace! Always near! Always in awe! Always lifting His name high and magnifying Him!!!!


    I.cant.wait.
    When we get there - please come find me and say hello! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

  45. V.... ....

    I love this.

  46. C.... W....

    I'm so lost and stuck. I feel as if I'm going no where. I "talk" to God almost everyday and it isn't enough. I have a half efforts relationship with God. I know God is all in and I haven't met Him the full way. Who ever reads this, pray for me. I don't know how to ask of you to pray for me, but just pray for me please. I guess for peace in my heart and soul. To find myself.

    C.... W....

    How has everything been?

    C.... W....

    One day the pain and slavery of sin will outweigh your pride, as pride and feeling like you can do it on your own is what prevents most of us from the deep relationship with the spirit that God wants for us all.

    C.... W....

    Praying for you Chloe.. Trust that God can read ur thots n heart.. Even if u duno how else to pray.. He is Bigger than anything that can ever hinder us.. God's Word is Truth. Let's get hungry together!!!!!!

    C.... W....

    Living in France, and praying for you Sist . May God reveal himself to you. And to the young people more generally.

    Amen <3.

    C.... W....

    Are you at peace now ? I know its been 2 years

  47. D.... ....

    Did you know that Phil Wickham couldnt talk for a whole year? But that's what gave him a beautiful voice.

    D.... ....

    aww :( DId he have vocal nodules or something that required surgery or rest?

  48. M.... K....

  49. M.... G....

  58. T.... L....

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to experience the true heaven that Phil Wickham sings of here. Going to church, getting better and piling on the good works is okay if you don't want heaven. Working will get you in hell quicker than a slip & slid with dish soap. Understanding the gospel means admitting your need, that ultimately, you stand before God as condemned and sinful in his sight and there is no work of righteousness that you can do to come into his presence, none. There are works, after the grace is in place, but it is never due to your work, even those works are set for you (Eph. 2:10). Experiencing this grace is to hear him calling - like a Shepherd calling to his sheep - do you hear Him, then follow.

  59. L.... B....

    was sang at my beautiful son's memorial.......Bethany & Sonny were awesome, as our God is:)

  60. F.... M....

    Very New to all this. I am so thankful and blessed to be building a relationship with my creator and savior. I only sad that it has taken me this long to truly embrace him. I am looking for him to create a new me, a better me.

    F.... M....

    Frank Mathews awesome Frank it's never too late .

    What's with these goofy women in the audience woo-hoo-ing and yaow-ing at him while he's worshiping? He's married, and this is a worship song.

    Have some class for goodness sake.

    S.... *....

    SqwEarl Baker that's why they're woo-hoo-ing because it's a worship song!

    S.... *....

    Aacronis No, you're wrong. They woo-hoo over his singing voice, and even Phil notices and has to keep himself from laughing at it.

    S.... *....

    Aacronis listen to Phil's concentration and voice crack after the 3:00 mark. The women were practically cat-calling him.

  63. D.... C....

    this song gets me hard every time.. I hope god forgives me for all I have done on earth..

    D.... C....

    Diego Chavez .....He Does

    Just incase you were wondering, in this version he tunes his guitar a whole step down and starts with Em7.

  66. P.... D....

    I believe in God's love and promises

  67. J.... E....

  72. T.... R....

    This song is such an affirmation for those who believe, love, depend and are waiting for our Savior whether upon his ultimate return or when we meet him after our death ?  But our faith is in Jesus for the here and now and ultimately in ETERNITY !

  73. c.... G....

    You wrote a letter and You signed Your name
    I read ever word Read it page by page
    You said that You’d be coming
    Coming for me soon
    Oh my God I’ll be ready for You

    I want to run on greener pastures
    I want to dance on higher hills
    I want to drink from sweeter waters
    In the misty morning chill
    And my soul is getting restless
    For the place where I belong
    I can’t wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

    I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
    Well done my child enter in, in rest
    As tears of joy roll down my cheek
    It’s beautiful beyond my wildest dreams

    I want to run on greener pastures
    I want to dance on higher hills
    I want to drink from sweeter waters
    In the misty morning chill
    And my soul is getting restless
    For the place where I belong
    I can’t wait to join the angels and sing

    I want to run on greener pastures
    I want to dance on higher hills
    I want to drink from sweeter waters
    In the misty morning chill
    And my soul is getting restless
    For the place where I belong
    I can’t wait to join the angels and sing
    Oh, I can't wait to join the angels and sing

    No, I can't wait to join the angels and sing
    No, I can't wait
    No, I can't wait

    To you see you shining in your light
    You'll be forever glorified

    Oh, I can't wait
    Oh, I can't wait

    To be forever by your side
    To be forever satisfied

    Oh, I can't wait
    x4

    Oh, I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

  81. r.... f....

  82. K.... m....

    Ive been going back and forth from partying and following God and everytime i party im only temporarily happy. But it goes away and theres a void in my heart and my life... But whenever i come back to God i feel peaceful... I need you God and its such a privilege to be in your presence...

    K.... m....

    KING mike to be in Jesus is the best decision you can ever make....the HOLY SPIRIT is here to help... don't give up Jesus is coming soon.. prepare the way!!!!!

    K.... m....

    there will be point where your partying will no longer be happy. I know brother. There is no joy outside of Jesus. Though be prepared it is a battle and a lot of times you'll be very unhappy yet the joy of the Lord is with you. Peace

  83. J.... U....

    Gotta see him live

  84. A.... R....

    I absolutely love this song

  85. E.... H....

    " I can' t wait" wow.... yes..angelic..worship in Heaven will be beyond anything we have ever experienced here on earth..

    E.... H....

    so true god bless you

  86. D.... M....

    Yes, Jesus

    You're love remains in me and it shows me the way to the cross so I will never look back or forsake you that you are King. You are the anchor to my soul.

  87. S.... B....

    This brings me so much peace... I can picture the day this will happen...I can not wait to join the Angels and sing my Heavens song!

  88. R.... M....

    This is so excellent. Perfect for me this evening. Thank you.

  89. e.... ....

    I am a Muslim and this song brought me to tears. Thank you for such a wonderful piece

    e.... ....

    Seek Him. God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. Only through Jesus can God truly be found. Much love!

    e.... ....

    @emorygal yes, but there is only one GOD! and allah is not the God of scriptures, god will have no other Idols he is the king of kings and the Lord of Lords, jesus is the savior who died for all! muslims jews, all races for humanity!! praying he opens your eyes to the real saving Gospel, he is the only God who can promise eternal life, and hope , forgiveness of our sins, not by works, but by faith and faith alone, repentance of our sins leads to true salvation, blessings to you and your family

    e.... ....

    @emorygal I think you were brought here for a purpose. God is calling you. He loves you and desires to know you. Our works do not determine where we go when we die. You and I, we can NEVER be good enough. Jesus died so we wouldn't have to be. It is knowing and loving Jesus. I am happy you respect him but it's not enough! He needs to be YOUR LORD! <3 Please open your heart. I understand though it is hard to see a whole different worldview after what you've been told all your life. But we are here, as is Jesus with open arms!

    e.... ....

    Praise God

    e.... ....

    @emorygal it is a beautiful song, and it gives me a beautiful feeling. Disregard the passive aggresive and condenscending comments. I am male, Christian, part Native American, part Mexican.. but 1st and foremost i am a human being on this beautiful Earth. Sending positivity, joy & love to you 😁😍❤🙏🏾🙇🏽‍♂️

  90. R.... A....

    song from the heart to the heart,,love it

  91. M.... ....

    My soul is restless for the place where I belong.

  92. D.... ....

    Nice with songs like this to sit back and relax

  93. e.... D....

    I love his music. to answer the second question by archadiaes. not all christian songs have a scripture reference sometimes the singer is lead by the sprit or knows a good song that they like and they know others will like there songs and agree with them and others won't

    e.... D....

    eve Daania yes for sure led by the spirit, amen.

  94. J.... ....

    Beautiful! I got goosebumps

    J.... ....

    +Jane Yup. Same here

  95. A.... V....

    Never let it be said that the devil has the best songs or singers!

    A.... V....

    +Mish SWB Lucifer er was once an angel of light and he was suppose to conduct music in heaven, but he is against Christ

  96. A.... O....

    Wow be very nice song....

  97. K.... B....

    3:00 - 3:06 is pure angelic

    K.... B....

    +Ben Klassen If you havn't seen him do this song live, I strongly encourage you to find the nearest concert and go! Its truly magical!

    K.... B....

    +Ben Klassen that would be Anointing !

    K.... B....

    +Ben Klassen 0:01 - 5:55 is pure angelic

    K.... B....

    Only God knows how much I love your songs!!!!!

    K.... B....

    im thinking 4:50-5:00, but just simply a great worship song

  98. P.... G....

    iwent o your concert recently and i fell in love with you voice!!!!! Youre really love you continue being awesome

  99. x.... ....

    What is the scripture reference for this song?

    x.... ....

    +Archadiaes a reference might be Psalm 23, or Isaiah 11, or maybe Revelation 21. Just some ideas, I don't actually know haha.

    x.... ....

    +Archadiaes I don't think he's teaching doctrine, i think he's worshipping God which is scriptural josh hester had some great references..that describes where he's coming from, but there is a point where when you live the word that is ministry in itself. He presenting worship which is intimate and hopefully it will lead someone to their own intimate worship in God. If you read any of the Psalms, You should catch the tone.

    x.... ....

    @malina1love THANK YOU! My thoughts revolved around what you said. ITS SO TRUE that whenever I hear the poems of his (phil) heart, it doesn't really sound like the intentions were to make doctrines known but a strong representation of his intimate relationship with God! Wow! that cleared a lot of doubts!

    x.... ....

    +Archadiaes just to be clear because your reply made me want to make sure I was explaining right: He is making doctrine known by living it. It's just in a different way. We all have different gifts that glorify God. This is teaching worship by presenting worship and inviting one to experience God intimately by example. Or providing an experience as evidence of what the Bible is talking about. A lot of times, a Bible believing Christian is the only Bible most people will initially read.
