kingdom comes

when anger fills your heart
when in your pain and hurt
you find the strength to stop
to bless instead of curse
when doubting floods your soul
when all things feel unjust
you open up your heart
and find a way to trust

it's a little stone, it's a little mortar
it's a little seed, it's a little water
in the hearts of the sons and daughters
this kingdom's coming...

when fear engulfs your mind
says you protect your own
you still extend your hand
you open up your home
when sorrow fills your life
when in your grief and pain
you choose again to rise
you choose to bless the name

it's a little stone, it's a little mortar
it's a little seed, it's a little water
in the hearts of the sons and daughters
this kingdom's coming...

in the mundane task of living
in your pouring out and giving
in your waking up and trying
in your laying down and dying

that's a little stone, that's a little mortar
that's a little seed, that's a little water
in the hearts of the sons and daughters
this kingdom's coming

it's a little stone, it's a little bit of mortar
it's a little bit of seed, it's a little bit of water
in your hearts, in our hearts
this kingdom's coming...
