The Kingdom Within Us #2223

The Kingdom Within Us In whispered words, a truth unfolds, A mystery from ages old. "The Kingdom of God is within," A realm of grace where we begin. Not distant lands or future dreams, But here and now, its presence beams. In every heart where love does grow, The Kingdom's light begins to show. Through tender touch and gentle smile, In acts of kindness all the while. A helping hand, a comforting word, In these, the Kingdom's voice is heard. Jesus taught in simple ways, Through ordinary, humble days. In human bonds, His love displayed, In every act, the Kingdom laid. No golden throne or grand parade, In humble hearts, the Kingdom's made. A seed of grace within us sown, In love and faith, the Kingdom's grown. So seek not far in distant skies, But in the love that never dies. The Kingdom's here, alive, within, In every heart where we begin. It's light in darkness, hope in despair, A bond of love we all can share. In every soul where love does start, The Kingdom thrives within the heart. Let us embrace this sacred truth, In every act, in age and youth. For in our love, the Kingdom's seen, A testament to what has been. With open hearts, let's live this way, Manifesting Kingdom each day. In every deed, let love impart, The Kingdom of God within the heart. -Steven G. Lee (July 6, 2024)
