View From Paradise

I know that you will be waiting in Paradise
Until God’s great Judgment Day
Then we will be together again
I'm getting my soul ready, and I can't wait

I must confess, that I was angry and hurt at first
When you left and you went on ahead of me
But now I realize you just needed to rest a while
You just wanted a better view to watch over me

While you were here in the flesh
I may not have always been what you wanted me to be
I pray that now when you look down
The tears that you cry are only because
You are proud of all the changes in me

I miss your love, your comfort, and your correction
I miss the fact that I can't still run to you for protection
I miss your warm embrace, and I miss your smile
I miss your loving arms, and your tender eyes
Speaking of which…

How is the View from Paradise?
