..

Sometimes, at the end of a stressful day,
I wonder how Paradise will look?
Will it be peaceful and serene, I pray
Yet, I know it will; it says so in His Book.

There will be no darkness; all will be light
No sickness, no hate, just feelings of love
There will be no wrongs; all will be right
My soul will soar with eagles above.

The lamb will lie with the lion
Death will be defeated, life will never end.
There will be no sadness, mine is all joy
Into the Book of life my name will be penned.

The knowledge of what is to come improves my day
If the Lord is with me, who can be against me?
Although I still face problems, I know the way
I live my life for Christ; that is the key.


To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Revelation 2:7, 1 John 5:4
