Wednesday is for Prayer
Preaching on the Kingdom of God this month from Matthew 13. Couldn’t help but think about Rich Mullins song, The Other Side of the World. Here’s the lyrics followed by a video of Rich and the Ragamuffin Band. I miss Rich Mullins. Won’t it be great to see him again in heaven?
The Other Side of the World
“Well the other side of the world
Is not so far away as I thought that it was
As I thought that it was so far away
But the other side of the world
Is not so far away
And the distance just dissolves into the love
Into the love
And the New Jerusalem won’t be as easy to build
As I hoped it would be
As I hoped it would be easy to build
But the New Jerusalem won’t be so easy to build
There’s many bellies to fill and many hearts to free
Got to set them free
But I see a people who’ve learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won’t be long
Until Your kingdom comes
And I know that the gates of hell
Are not prone to prevail
As I thought that they were
As I once thought they were prone to prevail
But I know that the gates of Hell
They have been destined to fail
I see Satan impaled on the sword of the Word
On the sword of the Word
And I see the people who have learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won’t be long
Until Your kingdom comes
And I can see the people who have learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won’t be long
Until Your kingdom comes
The other side of the world” Rich Mullins Song
“Oh God, give me a passion for your Kingdom. Make me a lighthouse pointing people to You and Your Kingdom. Make me Yours in every crevice of my being.”
