PARADISE - COLDPLAY

PARADISE - COLDPLAY

When She was just a girl 

She expected the world 

But it flew away from her reach 

So she ran away in her sleep 

Dreamed of paradise 

Every time she closed her eyes 

When She was just a girl 

She expected the world 

But it flew away from her reach 

And the bullets catching the tees

Life goes on it gets so heavy 

The wheel breaks the butterfly 

Every tear a waterfall 

In a night, the stormy night she closed her eyes 

In a night, the stormy night away she flies 

Dream of paradise 

So lying underneath the stormy skies 

She said I know the sun's set to rise 

It's gonna be paradise

Throughout the storms of life, having hope is a powerful thing!

Around 2400 years ago, a song was written that  went ‘ Why are you downcast, O my soul?  Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God.’ Psalm 42

King David, (who wrote the song), was speaking to his very soul, and telling it to stop the depression and start having hope. 

Hope is an antidote to depression and depair.  And true hope does not disappoint us (Romans 5:5)

King Solomon, the richest man who ever lived, wrote of God ‘ He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.’ Ecclesiastes 3:11

If we search deep down in the longings of our hearts, we all long for paradise, just as the song says. So have hope, that God’s mercies are new every morning, and we can be heading towards paradise. 

Thanks Coldpay - great song !!
