And so you entered Paradise

And so you entered Paradise

Georine (Thompson) Recholtz: 13 April 1962 – 12 January 2022


And so you entered Paradise

My dearest childhood friend

You’ve run your race

Our Saviour’s face

Is now yours to behold


And so you entered Paradise

And rest in Jesus’ arms

Your joyful heart

Remains in part

In those whose lives you touched


And so you entered Paradise

A jewel of faith and grace

A twinkling eye

A pink hair-dye

A kindness like no other


And so you entered Paradise

You lived and loved like Him

And there before 

Forevermore

Your voice is raised in worship


And so you entered Paradise

Your treasures are intact

No moth nor rust

Can steal the trust

You placed in him that day


And so you entered Paradise

The angels stand in awe

As they behold

The truth unfold

In those you led to Him


And so you entered Paradise

Rest softly, precious one

The sweet refrain

To die is gain

Is written on your crown
