Come your kingdom



Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do not bring us to the time of trial." Luke 11:2-4

Great Parent God,
Come, come; come your kingdom.
Come your kingdom.
Come your kingdom glowing light.
Come your kingdom piercing truth.
Come your kingdom outraged cries.
Come your kingdom tears of sorrow.
Come your kingdom gracious tender.
Come your kingdom strong determined.
Come your kingdom dancing hope.
Come your kingdom compassion burning.
Come your kingdom daily-bread justice.
Come your kingdom holding hands.
Come your kingdom good forgiveness.
Come your kingdom aching hearts.
Come your kingdom joy surprising.
Come your kingdom life no limits; ever new.
Come your kingdom dove descending.
Come your kingdom touching, welcome;
Come, come, come your kingdom.
Come your kingdom; come.
