Lyrics:

What kind of kingdom
Never ends?
What kind of kingdom
Lasts the eons?

What kind of kingdom
Never retreats?
What kind of kingdom
Knows no defeat?

When its subjects kneel
To the headman’s axe
When enemies ransack
And plunderers attack

When its name is cursed
And its king is mocked
And its banners taunted
And its walls are scoffed

How does that kingdom
More than survive?
How does it face this
And utterly thrive?

When its hero is dead
And its generals murdered
Its lieutenants imprisoned
Its soldiers embattled

When it has no borders
No cities to name
No fortress assembled
No highways to claim

How does this kingdom keep going?
Why won’t it die?
Why won’t it topple?
Why oh why?

What kind of kingdom
Never ends?
What kind of kingdom
Lasts the eons?

What kind of kingdom
Never retreats?
What kind of kingdom
Knows no defeat?

A Kingdom eternal
With foundations in Heaven
With impenetrable walls
And God’s Living Fountain

Its denizens are scorned
They’re beaten and crucified
Bodies buried and turned to dust
Burned to ashes and bones vilified

Yet even if
The last one is killed
Every Kingdom citizen
Wiped from the world

It won’t have lost
A single member of the fold
Won’t have diminished at all
Won’t have gone cold

Despite the world’s bluster
What it thinks is its power
There’s something greater
Something true forever

Every fallen citizen
Of this untouchable Kingdom
Has the irrevocable prize
To eternal life they shall rise

The census of Christ’s Kingdom
Never drops or goes down
Every martyr and every brother
On his head is a crown

The King of their Realm
Who rose from the grave
Is the Spring of Life
And to us eternity gave

He conquered death
He beat sorrow
He crashed hell
And we follow

What kind of kingdom
Never ends?
What kind of kingdom
Lasts the eons?

What kind of kingdom
Never retreats?
What kind of kingdom
Knows no defeat?

The Kingdom of God
That Land that’s Eternal
Where darkness is foreign
And we are immortal
