The kingdom of the Lord is here
Come gather, all from far and near
Awake your mind and have no fear
God's arms are open wide
No armored guards protect its gates
No tangled chains or judgment weights
Just free your blessed heart from hate
And human, come inside
Here enemies stand side-by-side
By truth and justice unified
It's growing where the old one died
Where any wound is healed
Here earthly cries are not ignored
It blooms and lives forevermore
In places that our hands restored
By selfless love revealed
Where kindness overcomes the mean
Where love is like the morning's gleam
And peace, an ever-flowing stream
The kingdom lives today
Where love and understanding's learned
Where prejudice is left to burn
Oppression's tables overturned
O God, show us the way
Your kingdom come, your will be done
May we sustain what you've begun
Til all creation is made one
O Jesus, lead us on
The kingdom of the Lord is here
The evening clouds begin to clear
The morning sun will soon appear
Come and reveal the dawn
