Kingdom of God
Journey to the Kingdom: Finding Hope in the Depths
Lyrics
Oh that I could see your face
Expressing a deep desire to see the divine face.
How I’m longing for that day
Longing for the anticipated day of encountering the divine.
Brighter sun of holy grace
Describing a radiant manifestation of divine grace.
Make my heart a holy place
Asking for the transformation of the heart into a sacred space.
Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own
Highlighting the blessedness of those without material possessions.
Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone
Acknowledging the blessed state of those mourning in solitude.
Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go
Recognizing the blessedness of the guilty who lack direction.
For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God
Connecting the hearts of the guilty to the path leading to the kingdom of God.
And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God
Emphasizing that the souls of the guilty are part of the divine song.
And they will find a refuge for theirs is the kingdom of God
Assuring that they will find refuge in the kingdom of God.
Beauty shining from your face
Appreciating the beauty radiating from the divine presence.
Always longed to see this place
Expressing a continual longing to witness this divine place.
Is there somewhere I can stay?
Pleading for a place of stay in the divine realm.
Even just a couple days?
Desiring even a brief sojourn in the divine abode.
Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own
Reiterating the blessedness of the materially poor.
Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone
Reiterating the blessed state of those mourning in solitude.
Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go
Reiterating the blessedness of the guilty without direction.
For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God
Reaffirming the connection between guilt-ridden hearts and the kingdom of God.
And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God
Reiterating that the souls of the guilty contribute to the divine song.
And they will find a refuge for theirs is the kingdom of God
Reassuring that they will find sanctuary in the kingdom of God.
The Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want
Quoting a biblical reference, affirming abundance under divine care.
In valley or pasture, we shall not want
Emphasizing contentment in various life situations under divine guidance.
Our cup runneth over and over
Expressing abundance that overflows perpetually.
For now and forever
Declaring enduring abundance both in the present and the future.
For now and forever
Reiterating the enduring nature of divine abundance.
