We need to have a KINGDOM MIND
And view our world through KINGDOM EYES
And hold fast to our KINGDOM TIES
Our international KINGDOM ALLIES
United together by a righteous KINGDOM DESIGN
But around the whole world this KINGDOM DIVINE
Is manifesting a KINGDOM DIVIDE
For we have made God’s KINGDOM BLIND
By engaging each other in a KINGDOM-WIDE FIGHT
By arguing over whose KINGDOM is RIGHT
We pity ourselves as a KINGDOM TRIED
Yet think of our brothers as KINGDOM SLIME
Really, we worship our differences; they’re our KINGDOM SHRINES
We like that we have a KINGDOM UNTIED
We spit in the face of the thought of a KINGDOM UNITED
In whom do our “KINGDOMS” ABIDE?
We’ve cast God’s KINGDOM ASIDE
We refuse to acknowledge “Thy KINGDOM” – THINE
We replace it instead with a KINGDOM of MINE
a KINGDOM of PRIDE
a KINGDOM of “I”
a KINGDOM of LIES
That is how God’s KINGDOM DIES
Now we’re a KINGDOM POLARIZED
SECULARIZED
COMPROMISED
and DESPISED
We need to have a KINGDOM MIND
We must view our world through KINGDOM EYES
In order to keep God’s KINGDOM ALIVE
For this whole world is the KINGDOM of CHRIST
And in unity we make His KINGDOM VISUALIZED
REALIZED
ACTUALIZED
and PRIZED
Only by love is God’s KINGDOM DEFINED
And through love we’ll again make His KINGDOM SHINE
Then, in our own days will His KINGDOM ARISE
And Jesus will claim us as His KINGDOM BRIDE
And His Kingdom will be established, a KINGDOM PARADISE!
nice work.
