Kingdom Song

ca 3/2001        A Kingdom That Reaches Over All        Key of C


    1)    I went to a land that was far away

        The things that I saw were hard to say

        I was there just a moment; A moment so bright

        And the burning of that moment forever changed my sight


   Chorus:    And now my land is not that big at all

        These mountains are not that very tall

        It’s strongholds, they will certainly fall

        For I see straight to a kingdom that reaches over all


    2)    I mingled with a people far different than my own
        Even so we shared both flesh and bone
        I will never forget the light in their eyes
        I will never forget the sound of their cries


    3)    Then I felt a presence so majestic and pure
        I heard a voice so humble, so quiet and sure
        I saw my Lord gathering his own to his side
        Great and small, far and wide


    4)    “Come to supper, children, come to sup and dine
         Come to supper, children share the bread and wine
         Come and eat, come and meet, I’m sending out the call
         Come straight to the kingdom that reaches over all”
