"The Kingdom" by Bethany Dillon

It tapped me on the shoulder today when I got home
I saw everything collecting dust
It made me hope there was something more
I pour over pages, desperate to find out why
The cripple at your table has what I'm longing to find

Teach me how to hum it
Because I don't know the words yet

Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom

Why are some women barren?
While the wicked's house is full
The stories never seem to end
Give me evidence I'm not alone
You said the weak would be lifted up
But maybe just not yet
So while I wait in this flesh and blood
I'll learn to lean in

Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom

This song is so profound to me... it echos victory and struggle in the Kingdom of God. It also seeks to understand why God allows the Kingdom to be the way it is, however then it teaches us to wait on Him... Trust in Him even if we do not always recieve and answer. I pray that our eyes would be more fit to see the Kingdom here on Earth. "They Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." What if we really prayed that prayer? Let his will be done JUST as it is in Heaven? I thnk we would be surprised, and if we open our mouths and hearts to speak these words... wonderful, crazy, Spiritual things would be done by the power of Christ. God let us hunger for your Kingdom!!
