Introduction
Alan Jackson delivers a heartfelt rendition of “I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You.” As he strums his guitar, his voice echoes throughout the audience, allowing you to picture him serenading someone special in Heaven.
The song’s lyrics talk about how “all their heartaches and problems will vanish away” as “they will stroll all over Heaven.” He also reflects on “enjoying all the beauty of all things new.”
Though primarily a country music artist, Jackson released a gospel album that resonated not only with his country fans but also with gospel music enthusiasts. Alan Jackson’s voice is one of a kind in country music, with deep tones that blend seamlessly with the melody. His stage presence is understated, often simply sitting on a stool, playing his guitar, and singing directly to the crowd.
The lyrics also touch on the unfulfilled plans to experience the beauty of life on earth due to life’s challenges, but offer hope with the line, “The morning of the rapture together we’ll stand anew.” This moment is particularly moving, as it paints a picture of Christ descending to lift those suffering into a peaceful and joyful eternity.
The audience at this concert sings along with Jackson, clearly moved by the song’s words. You can see the emotion on their faces, evidence of how deeply the lyrics resonate. Alan Jackson proves himself to be a crossover artist who pours his heart and soul into every performance.

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
