Lyrics
I saw it again today in the face of a little child

Looking through the eyes of fear and uncertainty

It echoed in a cry for freedom across the street and across the miles

Cries from the heart to find the missing part

Chorus

Where is the hope, where is the peace?

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy, and girl

Looking for heaven in the real world

To stand in the pouring rain and believe the sun is gonna shine again

To know that the grave is not the end

To feel the embrace of grace and cross the line where real life begins

And know in your heart you've found the missing part

Chorus

And there is a hope, and there is a peace

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy, and girl

Looking for heaven in the real world

Looking for heaven in the real world

It happened one night with a tiny baby's birth

God heard creation crying and He sent heaven to earth

Chorus

He is the hope, and the peace

that will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy, and girl

Jesus is the hope, and the peace

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy, and girl

Jesus is heaven in the real world

Jesus is heaven in the real world

Yes he is

Jesus is heaven

He is heaven in the real world
