Paradise
I was awakened this morning
To find an orange shaded horizon
Shining brilliantly and magnificent
So Plain to see
The cool temperate atmosphere surrounded my
Body with a mysteriously sweet aroma
Oh Lord, I truly am free
I see many souls around me, who could they be
Dressed in brightly colored gowns
Prostrating on both knees
A morning prayer to the living God
How close is he
For now I know this is a place that will
Provide all of my needs
Yes! Yes! this must be paradise
A place where the ancients prophesied
Where an assembly of righteous souls gather
To be as one with the Lord in the here after
