KINGDOM & A KING (click the green play button to listen)
STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The lyric "..to never wait on the governments to move, while the broken and poor cry out for you.." is not a political statement. It’s a Kingdom declaration. The church has been engaged in a missional awakening on so many fronts. I see it everywhere I go. College students and churches around the globe are beginning to take the call of Christ, to serve the least of these, seriously. This has caused me to reconsider the calling God has on my life. All my time, energy, and resources, I use for my plans and dreams. God's kingdom calls us to serve, give, love and pray. My hope is that this song, even in a small way, becomes a catalyst for His Kingdom overriding our own.

(lyrics) My heart is beating faster in my chest | As I sing of where my loyalties will rest | To never wait on the governments to move | As the broken and the poor cry out for You
For the kingdom and the King | For His glory we will sing | For the rescue of our souls | He has come | For the kingdom and the cross | Oh, the triumph and the loss | Love has broken through and now redeemed | For the kingdom and the King
Oh, God, may we be focused on the least | A people balancing the fasting and the feast | A call to give, and to serve and celebrate | For You are great | Oh, my God, You are great
So I pledge to know and love You above all | May we be the hands | To free them we are called
And our hope is not in this land | Oh, not in these laws | Not in these things | We rest, oh, knowing Your love | Has called us to move | Called us to sing, sing, sing | And the people will sing | They will sing, sing | Oh, the people will sing | For the King | For the King
The King, the King | The people will sing, sing, sing | For the kingdom and the King
