Lyrics
Verse 1:
It was Friday, and I was feelin' fine
Not many things were on my mind
The wind was calm, and so was I
Clear blue sky.
A happy breeze filled the place
And put a smile on my face.
My worries had just erased.
As I Lie.
I soak the sun and breathe the air
I seize the day without a care
The gift of life is everywhere
(And) I know why.

Chorus:
'Cause I have seen His eyes (Paradise).
And He is in our lives (Paradise).
The sky itself provides (Paradise).
You can't deny that we live in a (Paradise).

Verse 2:
Then came Saturday; the weather changed
The sun yields to the clouds that came
The day filled up with the rain
(We) stayed inside.
Happiness was hard to find
Smiles were a rare kind
We hung our heads and shut the blinds
Time passed by.
As I sat and searched my mind
So happy just to find
The gift of life in you and I.
(And) I know why.

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Sunday came and I don't care
What the weather's like out there
The gift of life is everywhere
(And) I know why.

(Chorus)

Description
Verse 1:
I was just kinda chillin' outside my house one Friday and realized how beautiful the world is. Of course, it was a beautiful day outside, so it is very easy to see God's glory in everything.

Verse 2:
The very next day, the weather got pretty bad. It was raining like crazy, and everybody had to stay inside because of it. Even though it seemed gloomy, the rain is yet another one of God's life-giving powers! The plants, trees, and wildlife can now survive because of this gift that God has given them all. Once again, God's glory is in everything.

Verse 3:
Sunday morning came, and I didn't even have to look outsie to see if it was sunny, rainy, or anything. I knew that no matter how the weather was, God's glory could be found in it because it is another day that God has given to us.

Chorus:
God is in our lives everyday, rain or shine. Like the United States Postal Office, He works through rain, hail, sleet, or snow to give us His glory. Thankfully, unlike the USPS, God works especially on Sundays and Holidays. ( You really can't deny that everyday is a paradise given to us from God.

Overall:
Just another weekend of experiencing God's paradise that he has given us. The earth is such a beautiful place, and it is quite obvious that God, the Creator, was an artist, as He designed everything we see. Especially in everything that has life, it's so amazing to know that God created that!

Psalm 150:6:
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord"

Genesis 1:31:
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."
