Oh, Heaven, heaven on Earth
Oh, Heaven

The spirit of the Lord is upon me
His anointing, is empowering
The kingdom of the Lord is within me
And He's calling me to the heavenly

Be seated in heavenly places
Just like heaven, just like heaven on Earth
To be walking in His favor and graces
Just like heaven, just like heaven on Earth

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of "Heaven On Earth" by Indiana Bible College reflect the ultimate desire of every Christian, the aspiration to experience the heavenly bliss in this lifetime. The verse one echoes the prophetic words of Isaiah 61:1, where the Spirit of the Lord has come upon the anointed one to set the captives free and to proclaim the good news to the poor. The song professes that the Spirit of the Lord has also come upon the singer in the same way that empowers them to live according to God's kingdom principles. The joy of being seated in heavenly places as expressed in the chorus is an invitation to bask in the love, mercy, and provision of God, just as we would in heaven. The singer acknowledges the support and favor of God in their life, which is not something they have earned, but something freely given to them by grace.


Verse two calls us to action, to march in a spirit of unity, and join with the community to display God's ability to change lives. The will of the Lord for his children is not just to talk about the gospel but to demonstrate it, to be living witnesses of the transformational power of God. The tag repeats the promise of heaven on Earth and encourages us to embrace the move of God, to expect a sense of changing, and to see God's glory around us. Verse three tells us that heaven is calling for us to come higher, to see things from a new perspective that can only be gained from being seated with Christ in the heavenly places. This new perspective brings renewal, hope, and the knowledge that everything is made new in Christ. The song ends as it starts, with the desire for heaven on earth, to live a life that is reflective of the heavenly bliss we will one day experience.
