[Luk 23:43, Jn 14:2-3, Rom 8:18]
|
|
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
|
|

That's Paradise
