When Your Kingdom Comes

from This Time Tomorrow by Ian Peacock

about

Many songs have been written about the return of Jesus, when there will be ‘no more tears and no more death’ but I wanted to ask a few questions. Not only about what will change, but about what might actually stay the same. If we still work for a living, will there be such disparity of wealth, will we even need money at all? If there is no sin, disease or death, will there be any need for doctors, police officers or funeral directors, to name just few professions? Will that mean there are even more unemployed people than there are currently?! That doesn’t sound too ‘heavenly’ does it?

The truth is, we just don’t know what it will be like. All we can say is that it will be glorious, as Jesus takes ‘the government on his shoulders’ and justice will be done across the globe. In the mean time, we are to ambassadors of a kingdom that has given us a taste of what is to come and await the return of our king.

lyrics

V1
When your kingdom comes what will stay the same?
Will we work for love or financial gain?
Always soaked in sun or will there be rain?
Everlasting joy in exchange for pain?

V2
When you come to rule, bring your government
Will the poor be filled and the rich be spent?
Every restless heart feel a deep content?
Every prison closed, every soul repent?

CHORUS
Until that day we will act and pray
We’ll obey your word in all we do and say
We will show the world Jesus is the way
As it is in heaven, may it be today

V3
There will be no crime, no disease or death
Not a bomb or gas to pollute our breath
Every work of art, every film and song
As a pure response to the risen son

MIDDLE 8
Your kingdom come, your will be done
On earth just as in heaven

V4
Everyone will see, just as clear as day
God will walk with us, speaking face to face
When the pure in heart with the meek on earth
Will be born again with a second birth
