"Soon May the Kingdom Come" Lyrics by Eden Parris © 2021, melody from "The Wellerman" traditional New Zealand sea shanty Violin - Samantha Ogundere. Vocal/guitalele - Eden Parris. LYRICS There once was a man from Galilee And he spoke of a wondrous mystery A kingdom of equality A kingdom built on love Soon may the kingdom come And be revealed to everyone! Soon may Your will be done On Earth as ‘tis above Well he loved the poor and he healed disease But word soon came to the Pharisees They wouldn’t accept, no they couldn’t agree That this was the Reign of God Soon may the kingdom come… He called the teachers and he called the scribes “Whitewashed tombs full of death inside” They wouldn’t accept, no they couldn’t abide That this was the word of God Soon may the kingdom come… So they tied him up and they beat his back They thought that the kingdom could be attacked But they did not know that with every whack It was closer than before Soon may the kingdom come… Pilate said "Still there is no crime" But the priests and and the people cried “Crucify!” So they hung him up on a cross to die And the Lamb of God was slain Soon may the kingdom come… They rolled the stone and they blocked the door They thought the kingdom would be no more Until the Lion of Judah roared And he rose up from the grave Soon may the kingdom come… Now the kingdom’s here and the kingdom’s free It’s an open secret, it’s a mystery It’s for everyone who has eyes to see His victory of love Soon may the kingdom come… (Mastered by Nigel Palmer)
