Title: Paradise
©2017 by ItsMeeJoana

I want to ask something, what is paradise to you?
Is it the person that matters most and stays when you're feeling blue?
Is it something that you achieved and you have received the price?
To the person who reads this, let me have my definition of paradise.

For me, paradise means experiencing God's goodness.
In all ways, He is there to make me feel His tenderness.
Throughout my life, His strength is there to make me strong.
I know in my heart that in His presence, I belong.

Whenever I am down, God lifts me up.
He always gives me strength in order for me not to give up.
I know in my heart that in His love, I am found.
He gives me His protection in order for me to be safe and sound.

From the bottom of my heart, I give God all my praise.
Nothing in this world can ever take His place.
God lifts me up whenever I fall.
He is my freedom, my shield and my all.

God opened my heart and made me realize things.
I cannot deny the real joy that He brings.
His unconditional love made me feel that I am worthy.
He pulled and saved me from a life that is worldly.

God is my paradise that is for keeps.
I feel His presence in my life and I know that He never sleeps.
I am really blessed because I already have him.
From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely offer him a hymn.
