Lyrics
Let me tell you 'bout the kingdom.
Let me tell you 'bout the story.
Talkin' bout eternal freedom,
talkin bout eternal glory.
Jesus, He is the King of the mighty, mighty kingdom.
Let me tell you bout the Master.
Talkin bout the lovin Saviour.
Take you to the ever after,
take you to eternal favor.
Jesus, He is the King of the mighty, mighty kingdom.
And when you give your life to Jesus and let Him show you how to handle everything.
That is just what He meant, He said "the kingdom of heaven is hear".
Jesus talkin bout His kingdom.
Jesus tellin us the story.
Givin' you eternal freedom, givin you eternal glory.
Jesus, He is the King of the mighty, mighty kingdom.
