Introduction
“I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You” – Alan Jackson’s Sacred Love Song
The final track on Alan Jackson’s album is “I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You.” More than just a country gospel tune, it carries a deeply moving story filled with love and remembrance.
Alan shared that he wasn’t very familiar with the song until his mother brought it up after his father passed away. To her, it held a special meaning—a touching message of eternal connection beyond death.
A heartwarming memory was shared: during a camping trip in South Georgia, Alan’s parents attended a gospel music night. When the group performed “I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You,” Eugene—Alan’s father—reached over, held his wife’s hand, and asked, “You like that song, don’t you?” From that moment on, the song became a cherished memory for her, and each time she hears it, she thinks about strolling over heaven with him someday.
In a heartfelt performance dedicated to his parents, Eugene and Jean, Alan sang the song with deep sincerity and emotion. The gentle melody and faith-filled lyrics express a promise of reunion in the afterlife:
“I want to stroll over Heaven with you, some glad day, when all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away… where all things are new and beautiful.”
“I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You” is not just a song—it’s a whisper of love that transcends time, space, and even death.
