The Kingdom

<p>So near and yet still so far, far away<br/>So close, and yet still to come<br/>Concealed, the seed is mysteriously growing<br/>In hearts that will listen and hear<br/>A treasure that&#x27;s hidden, a pearl of great price<br/>A fortune for fools who believe<br/><br/>A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love<br/>A kingdom of justice and peace<br/>A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation<br/>A kingdom where children will lead<br/><br/>For now this kingdom&#x27;s a land of the lowly<br/>A place for the tired, plundered poor<br/>Now our gentle King comes in peace on a donkey<br/>But then on a charger for war<br/>A battle in heaven, a war on the earth<br/>To shatter the long darkened siege<br/>A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love<br/>A kingdom of justice and peace<br/>A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation<br/>A kingdom where children will lead<br/><br/>Not by our own strength<br/>And not by the power of might<br/>But by His Spirit it comes<br/>Blinded eyes will see<br/>And deafened ears will hear<br/>The praise from the lips of the dumb<br/><br/>A kingdom of beauty, a kingdom of love<br/>A kingdom of justice and peace<br/>A kingdom that holds all the wilds of creation<br/>A kingdom where children will lead<br/>A kingdom where children will lead
