HIJACKED INTO PARADISE
Seized by Christ
And swept into an ecstasy
Up to heavens heights (repeat)
Bliss bliss bliss bliss bliss bliss
Here in this place (repeat)
Hijacked into paradise, Taken up
To glorious tranquillity
Drenched in endless love
Hijacked into paradise, full of joy
Complete wholeness harmony
Absence of discord
Bliss bliss bliss bliss bliss bliss
Here in this place (repeat)
God is the infinite source of Joy
Inexhaustible glorious!
God is the infinite source of Peace
Inexhaustible glorious!
God is the infinite source of Life
Inexhaustible glorious!
God is the infinite source of Love
Inexhaustible glorious glorious glorious glorious!
(2 Cor 12 – The Message)
