Kingdom Comes

Sara Groves could write the soundtrack of my life, no problem. Her insightful lyrics and flowing melodies mixed with an occasional kiss of country twang get me every time.

Kingdom Comes
by Sara Groves
When anger fills your heart
When in your pain and hurt
Your find the strength to stop
You bless instead of curse
When doubting floods your soul
When all things feel unjust
You open up your heart
You find a way to trust

That's a little stone, that's a little mortar
That's a little seed, that's a little water
In the hearts of our 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

That's a little stone, that's a little mortar
That's a little seed, that's a little water
In the hearts of our sons and daughters
This kingdom's coming
In the mundane tasks of living
In the pouring out and giving
In the waking up and trying
In the 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 our sons and daughters
This kingdom's coming
