That's Paradise |
Jimmy and Mary were quite a pair back in their younger days |
They met a married in six weeks time and |
That was sixty years ago this May |
Four kids made a house a home |
And a love for Jesus kept them strong |
Now every morning at eight A. M |
Jimmy takes a drive through town |
He spends his days at Mary’s side |
In a home for the old and broken down |
With a cane in his lap and a Bible in his hand |
He reads her stories about the promised land |
And with tears in their eyes they dream of a place |
Where everything changes in the light of Jesus' face and |
That’s paradise… Hey, that’s paradise… |
When the life breaks through and the old’s made new |
And the joy will never die, that’s paradise |
In another corner of this world, met another man named Jim |
Told me how twenty years of running from God |
Had finally gotten the best of him |
He said all hope was gone and he wanted to die |
'Cause what could God do with such a messed up guy |
So we talked about Jesus, God’s love and His plan |
And when Jim walked away he was a brand new man |
That’s paradise… Hey, that’s paradise… |
When the life breaks through and the old’s made new |
And the joy will never die, that’s paradise |
Now listen, Well I know the best remains to be seen |
In a place that’s far beyond our wildest dreams |
But until we see heaven we’ve got Jesus' world |
That He’ll never leave us and each prayer will be heard |
