All I want in paradise

What would I look forward to in heaven

That’s not accessible or plentiful on earth?

And how is death a doorway to eternity

That we don’t already have through new birth?

All I want in paradise is Jesus

Whose blood already washed away my sin

For if a throne without a king is simply meaningless

What’s the point of heaven without him?

Lord, we pray, “As your will is done in heaven

Father let it so be done here on earth!”

What greater is the experience of paradise

Than to realise our true value and true worth

I long to have encounters with your presence

For above all other things, I love you first

But though you touch me with the power of heaven

Jesus, it’s you for whom my brokenness thirsts

Oh, I know there is a place without sorrow 

And I can’t wait to get to heaven - don’t get me wrong 

But I don’t ever want to put off ‘til tomorrow 

What the cross declares has already come 

All I want in paradise is Jesus

Whose blood already washed away my sin

For if a throne without a king is simply meaningless

What’s the point of heaven without him?
