Paradise

Paradise (07/17/2001) By Abigail R. Zacharias (LoCascio)

Jehovah our God is wonderful,
Above everything all powerful.
How great and many His grand works are.
From the tiniest bug, to the largest star.
No one else can truly see,
What in future days will be.
But He's promised, this we know,
He will destroy the wicked foe.
And bring Paradise to all the land.
No more His people to be banned.
Each person will have his own delight,
And be restored to perfect might.
A day when all the dead will rise,
And tears of joy fill their loved ones eyes.
A time when no person will say,
"I feel bad or sad today."
A wonderful time when we will find
A tiger grazing with the hind.
Awesome stories will be told,
by all the faithful men of old.
When each human to their feet will rise,
To help make earth a Paradise.
Then for awhile Satan will be freed,
To see if all God's laws we'll heed.
And if faithful we prove to be,
Then God's Blessing we will see.
Satan forever will be cast out,
And we in joy will sing and shout.
"Praise Jehovah our God above,
A God of mercy and of love.
For making all our problems cease
For giving us true lasting peace.
We thank you, our God Most High,
For helping all who groan and sigh.
For releasing us from the old world's pressure,
For giving us this glorious treasure.
Teach us all your wonderous ways,
As we look upon endless days."
But till then we must stay strong
For our wait will not be long.
