The Kingdom of Jesus
The Porter's Gate · Jon Guerra · Sandra McCracken

To what shall we compare the Kingdom of Jesus if not a seed?
It's small, it's sewn, it's tended and grown and it's sturdy in you and me
Its branches never break and its fruit never withers

His Kingdom is not of this world or of any kingdom whose ruler's face is on a penny
He comes to make all things bright and put a new wine in us
He's chosen the small things to outlast the great
The meek and the merciful to shine through the hate
Though it seems some days that Hell and its gates are prevailing
Oh say can you see the kingdom within us is the Kingdom of Jesus?

To what shall we compare the spirit of the hour if not a sword?
It frees us, unites us, enslaves and divides us and violence, help us Lord

His Kingdom is not of this world or of any kingdom whose ruler's face is on a penny
He comes to make all things bright and put a new wine in us
He's chosen the small things to outlast the great
The meek and the merciful to shine through the hate
Though it seems some days that Hell and its gates are prevailing
Oh say can't you see we have one allegiance?
It's to the Kingdom of Jesus

He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world
He who is in us is greater and He's overcome the world

Oh His Kingdom is not one of slander or rage but one that is ruled by the Lamb who was slain
And is worthy of wisdom and honor and glory and strength
No pain, no division, no public disgrace will compare with seeing the smile on His face as He welcomes the poor as children with places at the table
No death, nor threat, nor power can ever separate us from the love of God forever in Christ Jesus
Everything shall pass away but not the Word that's within us, no, it's the Kingdom of Jesus
