Lyrics for There Is a Kingdom

Just like a bird that sings up the sun In a dawn so very dark Such is my faith for you Such is my faith And all the world's darkness can't swallow up A single spark Such is my love for you Such is my love There is a kingdom There is a king And he lives without And he lives within The starry heavens above me The moral law within So the world appears So the world appears This day so sweet It will never come again So the world appears Through this mist of tears There is a kingdom There is a king And he lives without And he lives within
