That's Paradise

Jimmy and Mary were quite a pair

Back in their younger days

They met and 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 8 A.M.

Jimmy takes a drive through town

He spends his days at Mary's side

At a home for the old and the 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 light 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 runnin' 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

And that's paradise

Hey, that's paradise

When the light breaks through and the old's made new

And the joy will never die, that's paradise

Now listen

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 word

That He'll never leave us, and each prayer will be heard

That's paradise

Oh, yeah, yeah

And that's paradise

Hey, that's paradise

Yeah, that's paradise

And that's paradise

When the light breaks through and the old's made new

And the joy will never die, that's paradise

Oh, that's paradise, yeah

No, no, no

Oh, when the light breaks through and the old's made new

And the joy won't die, that's paradise
