Song for Sunday: Kingdom Coming

Wow! Today at our church, 74 children were sponsored through Compassion International! I am absolutely thrilled at the response from my church family. Shaun Groves led worship and shared about the ministry of Compassion, and he sang this song. I hope the lyrics are right, I googled them.

Kingdom Coming
by Shaun Groves

Oh, God what do we see and hear
Your kingdom coming
Oh, God why do we bleed and fear
Your kingdom coming

Let it come in us
Let it come through us-

‘Til the sword is spared
And the bread is shared
‘Til the dying’s done
Let your kingdom come
‘Til the rich ones give
And the poor ones live
‘Til the weak are strong
Let your kingdom come

Oh, God what do we pray down here
Your kingdom coming
Oh, God why do we slave through tears
Your kingdom coming

Let it come in us
Let it come through us-

Oh, God what do we pray down here
Your kingdom coming

Your mercy come
Your justice come
Your will be done through us on earth
Your healing come
Your peace will come
Your will be done through us on earth

John and I were fortunate to have lunch with Shaun and his manager, Ben (who was a blast from my past from college days when I worked at Camp Cedarmore) and our music minister's family. He has a great blog (or Shlog) on his website as well. Check out this post from a while back about Kingdom Coming and see the first draft. And, as always, if you want to sponsor a child through Compassion, check out the widget to the right or just click here.
