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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS

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
