Just Like Heaven
Larry Hampton Lyrics

Larry Hampton's "Just Like Heaven" is a gospel song that is an expression of his deep reverence for God. The opening lyrics highlight the magnificence of the personality he refers to as wonderful and radiant, as beautiful as the dulcet song, shining like the dawn. The song lyrics leave an impression that the singer is in awe of this person's splendor and beauty. The reference to heaven and the analogy of the Lord's presence to heaven in the lines (You are glorious, shrouded in all splendor, So beautiful, and Your presence is like heaven) further cements the idea of the singer's adoration for the Lord. The emphasis on the words "just like heaven" in the chorus intensifies the feeling of bliss and enchantment that the singer feels when in the presence of the Lord.

The lyrics continue to highlight that the singer will sing holy, holy, holy is the Lord as the years go by and until the day he dies. It's a sign of his commitment to God, and his worshipping will be continuous until his last breath. The final lyrics in the chorus evoke another striking association with the Lord's beauty and splendor, "You are wonderful, like a dulcet song / You are radiant, shining like the dawn" before he ends with "Just like Heaven" one final time, bringing everything back to the central theme of the song.
