We Love Your Kingdom, Lord

We love Your kingdom, Lord;

Its message is welcome here.

Whatever leads more near to You

Is what we long to hear.

 

We leave all things behind

To answer Your wondrous call.

Your voice rings out,

“Come follow Me,

Come follow the Lord of all! “

 

To hear what You demand

Brings joy, not tears nor pain.

What does it matter what we lose

When it is Christ we gain?

 

Then what shall we possess?

What riches shall we hold?

To know You, Lord, is wealth enough

To last for years untold.

 

We’ll know You as You are,

Not as our minds conceive.

The only limit left for us

Is what we dare believe.
