by J. Randal MathenyOf Kingdom joy I dream and Kingdom peace,
Where virtues thrive and blessings never cease;
Here God bestows the harvest's sure increase,
He heals the lame, secures the captive's release.Of Kingdom love I dream and Kingdom sight,
Where God and Lamb are all the Kingdom's light;
To them the nations bring their glory and might,
Where rulers bow and tyrants hide in fright.A Kingdom dream, not mine, but God's good plan,
In action since before the world began;
The center of his perfect will is man,
The soul his mercy's reach, and heaven his span.---

OF KINGDOM JOY I DREAM

Of Kingdom joy I dream and Kingdom peace,
Where virtues thrive and blessings never cease;
Here God bestows the harvest's sure increase,
He heals the lame, secures the captive's release.
Of Kingdom love I dream and Kingdom sight,
Where God and Lamb are all the Kingdom's light;
To them the nations bring their glory and might,
Where rulers bow and tyrants hide in fright.
A Kingdom dream, not mine, but God's good plan,
In action since before the world began;
The center of his perfect will is man,
The soul his mercy's reach, and heaven his span.
