Introduction

Some songs feel less like melodies and more like prayers set to music. “I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You” is one of those songs—a tender and heartfelt expression of longing for an eternity spent with a loved one in paradise. Originally written by Dale Golden, this gospel-country classic found its way into the hearts of many, especially through the warm, soothing voice of Alan Jackson, who made it a staple in his gospel collection.

At its core, this song is about hope, faith, and the promise of a joyous reunion beyond this life. It speaks to anyone who has ever missed someone deeply, believing that while earthly time is fleeting, a heavenly eternity awaits. With gentle instrumentation and lyrics that paint vivid pictures of peace and glory, “I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You” offers a comforting embrace to those yearning for the assurance of something greater.

Whether it’s played at a church gathering, a quiet reflection at home, or even as a tribute at a loved one’s farewell, the song carries a universal message—love doesn’t end, and neither do the dreams of walking side by side with those we cherish. It’s the kind of song that makes you close your eyes and picture golden streets, endless blue skies, and the simple joy of never having to say goodbye again.

For believers, it’s a glimpse of heaven’s promise. For music lovers, it’s a beautifully woven piece of storytelling. And for anyone who’s ever wished for just one more moment with someone they love, it’s a gentle reminder that someday, that moment will come

Lyrics

If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I’d simply ask for a favor of him beyond mortal king
And I’m sure that he’d grant it again
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
So many places of beauty we long to see here below
But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
But come the morning of the rapture together we’ll stand anew
While I stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
