The Kingdom of God

There is a kingdom we do not see

that dwells within you and me.

It is the kingdom of God which I speak

It’s not a kingdom in the sweet by and by

somewhere beyond a starlit sky.

But the kingdom that dwells in the depths of our heart

God by his Spirit did impart.

When we surrender our lives to the Creator of man

we enter in to the unfolding of Gods eternal plan

Of this kingdom there will be no end

and to become great in His kingdom

then your knee you must bend.

For he who would be greatest among you

must become servant of all

to those who are willing this is the call.

The kingdom of God of which I speak

is not for the proud and arrogant, but the meek.

It’s not for those who want to look wise,

but those who are willing to sell all they have

to possess a pearl of great price

that can’t even be seen by human eyes.

To possess this kingdom you must understand

you cannot follow the wisdom of man.

For the world in its wisdom crucified the Lord

and the preaching of the cross is totally absurd.

But God in his wisdom redeemed mankind

through the foolishness of what was preached

to those who are willing to trust and believe.

Yes, there is a kingdom that flesh and blood cannot inherit

but only obtained through Gods spirit. 

To possess this kingdom that’s not of this earth

there has to be a spiritual birth.

When you’re willing to confess you are dying in your sin

and invite Jesus as your savior The King of Glory to come in

He will wash away your past and give you eyes to see

His kingdom that will last for all eternity.
