Behold, the Kingdom's approach
The kingdom everlasting
The two-edged sword is spoken
His glory filled our eyes
They drank from cups and gold
No want goes unsatisfied
A communion of idols
The gods well-fed in temples grand
Through the shadows a light breaks through
Beating begins, in hearts once dead
Behold, the Kingdom’s approach
The Kingdom everlasting
The two-edged sword is spoken
His glory filled our eyes
Rising from tombs and black
Our shackles revealed, our chains well-worn
A glory unfolding within our spirits
The light shines forth
The once silent is now resounding
And will forevermore
I know where you dwell
Where Satan made his throne
Hold fast My words
One day they’ll soon make war
He that hath an ear
Let him hear what the Spirit sayeth
I will
Give Him
A stone of white
And a new name
Though evil may make war
The Son will overcome
Endure you saints
Take hold His strength
His word will lead us on
To him who loves us
And has freed us from our sins
By His blood
And made us a kingdom
Dominion forever
Behold, the kingdom is here
The King who walks among us
The sword aloft and shining
His Glory everlasting!
Pulled from the rubble of filth and disease
A newness of life within me the old, obsolete
Father, You’re all I have
My righteousness is as rags
My sin overcome by the blood of Your Son
Your Spirit within me
Clothe me in white
Wash these tears
I just need
Just to live in His presence
You’ve awakened me from my sleep
Where I once was blind now I see
By the radiance of His glory
A great unfathomable chasm once fixed between
Diametric to the veil that You severed in twain
The great division is healed, divider destroyed
Now one with the Son of Man and, He, the Three-in-One
His rule is over creation
He measures our days
Before all things and in Him all things
Visible and invisible in heaven and earth
Created all through and for Him
The True Firstborn
A garment of salvation
Spotless and untorn
Eternal life
Untied from this world
Embodied to break free
Baptized in death
Awaken to new life
The time has come
The kingdom of heaven's at hand
Awakened us into the newness of life
He calls
But not all will answer
They heed the voice of the father of lies
The gods, the gods they know are their desires
Desiring death
Where Satan dwells
Truth they fastened to the cross
With Him
This suffering
Will not be eternal
What can man do to me
Do not fear
The Lord is my confidence
Though my foes surround me
And darkness falls around me
My hope is in You
You will never falter
Waiting for our blessed hope
The glory to be revealed
Rejoicing in this hope
This promise is to us forever
We will not be put to shame
On You we await
The Eternal Son
He will not fail us
Though I might lose heart
Though the very foundations shake and give way and fall apart
His mercies are both new and eternal
Great is your faith
Though my strength may fade
You will never perish
As you raised Christ
You will raise me
Untied from this world
Embodied to break free
Baptized in death
Awaken to new Life
The time is here
Our King is in our midst
