“Far Kingdom” | SONG of the week

Artist: The Gray Havens
Album: Fire and Stone
Year: 2015

There is a far kingdom
A ways from here,
Beyond the storm and the sea.
There will be no need of darkness
And none for tears
When that far kingdom I see.

There’s a river we will know,
Ever clear and ever full,
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King.
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise.
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom,
In the kingdom.

There is a far kingdom
On the other side of the glass,
And by a faint light we see.
Still there is more gladness
Longing for the sight
Than to behold or be filled, by anything.

There’s a river we will know,
Ever clear and ever full,
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King.
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise.
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom,
In the kingdom.

There is a far, far kingdom,
There at the end of the sea,
Where they know my name.
And until that far, far kingdom
Calls me home
Oh, my soul, I will wait.

For the river we will know,
Ever clear and ever full,
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King.
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise.
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom,
In the kingdom.
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom,
In the kingdom.

"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."

Revelation 21:23 KJV
