Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] The kingdom of God is justice and joy; For Jesus restores what sin would destroy. God's power and glory in Jesus we know; And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow. [Verse 2] The kingdom of God is mercy and grace; The captives are freed, the sinners find place, The outcast are welcomed God's banquet to share; And hope is awakened in place of despair. [Verse 3] The kingdom of God is challenge and choice: Believe the good news, repent and rejoice! God's love for us sinners brought Christ to his cross: Our crisis of judgement for gain or for loss. [Verse 4] God's kingdom is come, the gift and the goal; In Jesus begun, in heaven made whole. The heirs of the kingdom shall answer his call; And all things cry "Glory!" to God all in all. [Verse 1] The kingdom of God is justice and joy; For Jesus restores what sin would destroy. God's power and glory in Jesus we know; And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow. [Verse 2] The kingdom of God is mercy and grace; The captives are freed, the sinners find place, The outcast are welcomed God's banquet to share; And hope is awakened in place of despair. [Verse 3] The kingdom of God is challenge and choice: Believe the good news, repent and rejoice! God's love for us sinners brought Christ to his cross: Our crisis of judgement for gain or for loss. [Verse 4] God's kingdom is come, the gift and the goal; In Jesus begun, in heaven made whole. The heirs of the kingdom shall answer his call; And all things cry "Glory!" to God all in all.
