A prayer-hymn for the influence of Christ's kingdom on earth. |
KINGDOM OF CHRIST COME OVER THE EARTH! LET ALL THE NATIONS EXPERIENCE REBIRTH LET ALL THE PEOPLES IN LANDS FAR AND WIDE EXPERIENCE THE DWELLING OF YOUR SPIRIT INSIDE! There is no rock that You cannot move No heart so hard that You cannot melt No skin so callous that You cannot touch No place so cold that Your warmth can't be felt. Surely with joy You fill every soul that's yielded and fit to Your blessed reign shining with light deep darkness console and sweetness and healing emerge from our pain. Vain would men fight 'gainst Your holy will surely Your purposes you can't but fulfill surely Your promises can't but prevail surely Your Word can never fail. The Spirit engenders a beautiful world in every age Your glory unfurled in art, in music in all works of men Lord Jesus, visit us with such splendor again. God's kingom is known by order and love when earth is marked with the things from above and the Spirit is active with strokes strong and sure and men love the lovely, and holy and pure. So come Holy Spirit and visit, we pray this poor, tired world so weighed down with dismay with the glad tale of Christ let salvation begin and we'll leave off our tatters and smudges of sin. And we'll rise to the glories of heaven above and be filled with all goodness and mercy and love and deal a death blow to all of Satan's legions and establish Christ's kingdom in all of the regions. Amen. |
