1300  THE KINGDOM — The Seed of the Kingdom

1. The Lord has been revealed in us,
  The kingdom—seed so glorious;
  He's planted deeper than our heart,
  And from us He will ne'er depart.
  This seed is never satisfied
  Just in our spirits to abide;
  He want to grow and spread today
  To live in us in every way.
2. We're like a glove, an empty man,
  So meaningless without a hand;
  Lord, saturate each inward part
  And form Yourself in all our heart.
  The Lord must spread into our mind,
  Our natural thoughts and concepts bind;
  Imaginations, dreams be gone,
  The kingdom—seed in us is sown!
3. In our emotions He must grow;
  Raw, fragile feelings overthrow;
  Our love, our hatred, must be His—
  Lord, we agree with You for this.
  Another part the Lord must fill—
  Our hard, unbending, stubborn will;
  Lord, our resistance quickly break,
  Subdue us for Thy kingdom's sake.
4. Our conscience too the Lord must clear,
  That we may walk in godly fear;
  Our conscience must be keen today,
  Else we cannot the Lord obey.
  'Tis by His growing, spreading thus,
  The Lord will have His home in us;
  A place on earth where He is Lord,
  Full rights to Him we will afford.
