~My Son Is In Paradise~

I had a precious little boy
God gave him to me
I held him so close
Forever to be



For how blessed I am, my Jesus chose me
To bear Him a child, His heaven to see
No more shall he suffer, no years shall he grieve
Jesus took him to be, where he'll ever live



My son is of heaven, no more to fit here
There's nothing of earth, that he could hold dear
Except those he loves and soon we'll be there
To be with him always, that new life to share



My son is in paradise and aren't I so blessed
To know he is safe, my heart is at rest
He is not left behind, to suffer so deep
To watch us all die, in heartbreak to weep



I love him so much, I'm glad he was swept
Up into glory, forevermore kept
Jesus will hold me, His love is so sure
While my son is set free, from being my all



I hold precious memory, to keep in my heart
For his love is in me, we never can part
For I know all we shared, was such perfect love
Though now out of sight, we'll always be one



A sweet secret smile, I hold deep within
For his joy, his delight is all guaranteed
And God gave me his heart
Forever to keep
