Paradise

Pampered like a child, Lord, your grace
Abounds in my heart; and on my face
Reverence for you beams with gratitude
Affording me with a humble attitude
Demonstrating your eternal blessing
Imbuing in me a warm ethereal feeling 
Soliciting solace and heavenly happiness
Eliminating my worldly woes and stress.
