“Paradise” is a worship song centered on the longing of eternity & the hope of seeing a deceased loved one once again.
Paradise is a place of exceptional joy and delight, a place where the virtuous dead call home. For Christians, that place would be Heaven.

[Verse 1: William Matthews]
When I'm on my knees
I'm tired and weak
And the silence unbroken
Here in the now and not yet
I'll be holding my breath
And the weight is an ocean
[Chorus: William Matthews]
How long must I wait to be with you?
I'm longing for the day that it comes
How long till the moment I look in your eyes?
Paradise
[Verse 2: William Matthews & Lauren Evans]
Here every treasure will rest
In a house made of dust
There's a kingdom inside me
Now I have tasted and seen
And my heart has believed
You will lead me to glory
[Chorus: William Matthews & Lauren Evans]
How long must I wait to be with you?
I'm longing for the day that it comes
How long till the moment I look in your eyes?
Paradise
[Bridge: William Matthews & Lauren Evans]
Give me eyes to see
Christ the hope in me
I just wanna be closer and closer
With my heart I see
Make your home in me
I just wanna be closer and closer
Give me eyes to see
Christ the hope in me
I just wanna be closer and closer to you
[Outro: William Matthews & Lauren Evans]
How long must I wait to be with you?
I'm longing for the day that it comes
How long till the moment I look in your eyes?
Jesus, I was made to be with you
I'm living for the day that you come
It's heaven every moment I look in your eyes
Paradise
