The Kingdom of God is justice and peace
And joy in the Holy Spirit
Come LORD and open in us
The gates of your Kingdom
El reino de Dios es justicia, paz
Y gozo en el Espíritu Santo.
Venga Señor y abre dentro de nosotros
las puertas de tu Reino
Ufalme wa Mungu ni haki amani
Na furaha kwa Ro' Mtakatifu.
Njoo Bwana, na utufungulie
Milango ya ufalme wako

Come now and join the feast
From the greatest to the very least
Come on now and join the feast,
Come on here right now
Come now and join the feast,
Right here in the belly of the beast
Come on now and join the feast,
Come on here right now
Cops and soldiers you can come too
Just lay down your guns and come on through
Rich people get rid of your stuff
and poor people, there will be enough
Mighty ones come down from your thrones
And little ones you are not alone
Come on patriots, bring your flags,
We're washing feet and we'll need some rags
Kings and queens, smash your crowns
The King has taken Kinghood down;
Religious people let go of your rules
Let the sinners serve you food
Lazy man step up to the table
Make some food for those who aren’t able
Make sure everyone gets some
Then we’ll see the Kingdom…

You Are My Deepest Place
04:27
|
|||
|
You are my deepest place
You are my underground, you are my foundation
You are my deepest place
No matter how far I fall, you are there deeper still
You are my wide embrace
When I was broken down, you held me and healed me
You are my wide embrace
When my world is crashing down, you are my refuge
Awaken the dawn, and take back the night
Awaken my soul, and set me on fire
You are my yearning pain
In the deepest part of me, I’m longing for you
You are my yearning pain
You’re the silent song I sing, the longing I’ll never lose
Awaken the dawn, and take back the night
Awaken my soul, and set me on fire
Awake, awake my soul
Love is here to hold

Brothers & Sisters
02:57
|

|
Almighty God, revealed as Father;
Daddy to me and to us all;
Help me remember my brothers and sisters,
All that call you Father and LORD.
Remember the poor, my brothers and sisters,
Working to eat and struggling to live.
Help me learn from the lives of your favourites;
What I do for them I do for you.
Remember the rich, my brothers and sisters,
Trapped in lives of idolatry,
Dying inside whilst faith is in Mammon;
LORD have mercy, on them and on me.
Remember the drunk, the drugged and the homeless,
Both rich and poor who lose their dignity.
The last, the lost, the least and the losers;
Like brother Jesus, my family.

Light My Life (Psalm 13)
04:13
|
|||
|
How long will you forget me?
Will you hide your face from me?
Every day I wrestle with my thoughts.
Look on me and answer,
Give light to my eyes;
Say that you will hold me if I fall down
I trust in your love,
I trust in your love,
I trust in your love,
You light my life with love
How long must we wait here,
Living in the in-between?
Everyday there’s sorrow in my heart.
Look on me and answer,
Give light to my eyes;
Help me see the hope that flickers in the dark
I trust in your love,
I trust in your love,
I trust in your love,
You light my life with love

You Have Been So Good
04:17
|
|||
|
The years have passed away
And I need that touch again;
Blown with wind and burned in fire,
My failures have been deep,
No need to hide it, no need to hide again.
But the fire you breathed in me
Is still giving light and heat,
And the core of me belongs to you.
Don’t let another day go by;
Please, I need you, can’t do without you.
You have been so good to me
And although you’ve made me see
Troubles in this life I know
That you’ll restore my life again
Won’t you come and comfort me
Let me hide beneath you, beneath your wings
You’re the one who heals this heart;
I need your touch
When it seems the dream is dead,
Can I trust it will resurrect?
Broken hope can make you hard,
And change seems hard to gain;
Sometimes I feel bound up,
Bound up in death and chains.
But the fire you breathed in me
Is still giving light and heat,
And all of me belongs to you;
You’re the one who holds my heart,
And it’s your song calling me home
You have been so good to me
And although you’ve made me see
Troubles in this life I know
That you’ll restore my life again
Won’t you come and fire my heart
Breathe your life inside me, resurrect me,
Through the wind and fire
I know I’ll see your face

He's Broken Your Heart
02:43
|
|||
|
He’s broken your heart
He’s taken your breath away
I know the pain keep crashing like the waves
Please don’t feel that you’re alone
We’ll hold your heart for you
Until the bruising’s gone
The sea keeps on calling
A lonely ocean
Tomorrow’s dreams have been cast down deep

Coming Home
04:31
|
|||
|
Coming home to you, coming home to you;
Life begins anew, all will be renewed;
All the good we see is just a mirror to what will be,
So let it all begin, celebrate and sing because…
The brutal voice of violence
Will be silenced finally
And broken bones and mangled flesh
Will be set and fully healed;
The violated victims will no longer be afraid,
And the ones whose crimes have terrorised
Might bow the knee and pray.
We’ll turn shotguns to shovels,
And knives to garden shears;
What was meant for mass destruction
Will transform to tools of peace;
And the governments whose orders
Have oppressed and raped and killed
Will fall to face the judgment
While the celebration builds
The forgotten and abandoned
Will be honoured and embraced,
The broken and rejected
Will have their tears wiped away;
The lonely will have families
And the friendless will have friends,
And those who seek asylum
Will find their home again.
And the hopelessness of poverty
Will turn to hope again
As the desperate and the landless
Will have a stake to claim,
And children won’t die
For a lack of things to eat
Cause everyone will have enough
As we share and eat the feast.
All the tribes and nations
Will be gathered equally,
And take joy in their differences
And learn new ways to be;
And ‘us and them’ will be transformed
As kindred become one,
And all of those who’ve been oppressed
Will shine again like diamonds.
The groaning of creation
Will turn to joyful song
As humankind begins to care
As it should have always done,
And the healing of the earth
Will see us take our rightful place:
Creation our cathedral,
An eternal place of praise
The suffering of poverty (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
The suffering of the lonely (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
The suffering of slavery (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
The shame of the guilty (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
The suffering of addiction (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Painful afflictions (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Brutalising violence (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Death and dying (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Death will be swallowed up (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Death will be swallowed up (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Death will be swallowed up (Swallowed up, swallowed up)
Life begins again, so let it all begin right now...

Pour Me Out
04:27
|
|||
|
Pour me out, pour me out like wine
Draw a blood red line in the ground.
For every seed
Every seed must die
A muffled victory cry
That gets louder over time
Break me out of the walls we've made,
Out of the beauty parades and holy games;
Sound the cry;
There's a world outside
That needs your heart and mind,
And your blood upon the ground
Take me out, break me open wide
So that the colours shine without fear.
For every child
Has a jewel inside
We must never hide,
But release into the wild
Send me out, with wounds that heal,
With a heart that feels the dirt and pain;
For what's inside
Won't get sick or die,
But will infect and thrive,
Like a light inside the dark
So pour me out, pour me out like wine
Draw a blood red line in the ground
For every seed
Every seed must die
A muffled victory cry
That gets louder over time

Waiting For Fire
05:33
|
|||
|
A burning light, a fragile flame;
A hope that shines when all else has failed.
It’s been so dark, I long to see,
Waiting for fire God, waiting for fire;
We walk in shadows, come light the way,
Waiting for fire, God
Refining fire, consume my pain;
Consume my selfishness, all I hope to gain.
For what I lose, is yours to take;
Burn it away God, burn it away.
Forget perfection, I need grace;
Waiting for fire, God
A burning bush that doesn’t die,
Your flames of fire keeping me alive.
The death I die, the life I live;
Burning for you God, Burning for you.
So let me be the light we need;
Waiting for fire, God
A blazing fire, a shining sun,
Burning stronger than when it first began.
Light everlasting, the brightest dawn;
Waiting for fire God, waiting for fire.
Our days of sorrow will have an end,
Waiting for fire, God
