Lyrics
VERSE
Reveal to us the mystery
To see You face to face completely
Reveal to us Your mysteries
We'll abandon ourselves in worship
CHORUS
Let it all be like it is in heaven
When we'll look upon Your face forever
Let it all be like it is in heaven here
BRIDGE
What are You thinking?
What are Your desires?
Let them be known
That they may be established
VAMP
// Just as in heaven
Just as in heaven //

Meaning & Inspiration
Like It Is in Heaven presents worship as a longing for the life of heaven to become visible in the present. The repeated request to see God face to face gives the song a reverent focus, while the language of abandonment describes wholehearted devotion rather than casual praise. Its chorus gathers these ideas into a prayer that earthly worship would reflect the nearness, clarity, and permanence associated with heaven.
The bridge turns from contemplation to surrender by asking that divine thoughts and desires be known and established. That movement closely parallels the biblical prayer for Gods will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. The hope of beholding Gods face also recalls the promised communion of Revelation 22:4. Together, these images make the song a meditation on Gods presence, obedient worship, and the desire for present life to conform to divine purposes.
