They came to follow Him Drawn by what He promised them If they would sell all that they had He said that God would send A kingdom that would never end Where all the poor would be so rich And in their discontent They heard what they thought He meant They heard that the weak would be strong Bread would be multiplied And hunger be satisfied And every servant a king In this kingdom of God The kingdom that would never end The living unshakeable kingdom of God
But He went His quiet way Giving Himself away Building what eyes could never see While men looked for crowns and thrones He walked with crowds, alone Planting a seed in you and me Crying for those who cried Dying for those who died Bursting forth, glorified, alive And some of them looked for Him Sad that it had to end But some dared to look within and see The kingdom of God A kingdom that would never end The living, unshakeable kingdom of God
Still some of us look for Him Sad that it has to end Do we dare to look within and see The kingdom of God A kingdom that would never end The living, unshakeable kingdom of God, of God!
