O What a Paradise!

O what a paradise is southern California!
No winters, no summer, no fall,
But springtime
All year long.

O what blessing we have in this paradise on earth!
As far as I know
No freezing drift, no frost, no snow,
But sunshine all year long.

O what a foretaste of the Kingdom divine to come
Right here on earth and right now!
There is no pain, no tears, no cry.
But peace, joy and eternal bliss.

O what a loving God we have in the world after the Fall!
The world is full of strife, war, disease, loneliness, and death
But in your domain there is no disease that you cant heal
No war that you cannot win
No loneliness you cannot comfort
No death that you cannot conquer.

O what a glorious sight of your everlasting Heaven
Where there is only ceaseless praise, singing new songs
As you promised for all believers of your Son, Jesus Christ
At the next level at the foot of
The mercy seat of the throne of our God and Lord.
