David Dunn's song 'Kingdom' reimagines heaven not as a distant future place but as a present reality that believers carry within them. The lyrics emphasize that God's kingdom is alive in the hearts of those who believe, transforming their lives and bringing heaven to earth. Drawing on the Lord's Prayer, the song echoes the desire for God's will to be done on earth as in heaven. It encourages listeners to live for the kingdom, understanding that it is more than a destination—it is a way of life marked by spiritual rebirth and forward movement.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Not just a thing up in the sky,
To sweep by and by and ohh, no.
Not just a set of pearly gates,
And angels with wings, no, it's more.
Heaven is here, heaven is now,
Heaven is a thing that is coming down.
Lives in our hearts, of those who believe,
The kingdom of God that's living in me.
Bringing heaven down, to the here and now.
Yeah the kingdom is living in you and I,
It's anywhere the king resides.
Bringing heaven down, to the here and now.
Yeah the kingdom is living in you and I,
It's anywhere the king resides,
(The kingdom)
(The kingdom)
The kingdom is more, it's about being reborn.
We are a heavenly creation,
We can live as so much more.
We are a train, life is a track,
Only moves forward never going back.
The world is a stop-second in time,
Heaven is more than the end of the line.
Bringing heaven down, to the here and now.
Yeah the kingdom is living in you and I,
It's anywhere the king resides.
Bringing heaven down, to the here and now.
Yeah the kingdom is living in you and I,
It's anywhere the king resides.
(The kingdom)
Thy kingdom come,
On Earth as in Heaven.
Thy will be done,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, the kingdom.
Thy kingdom come,
On Earth as in Heaven.
Thy will be done,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, the kingdom.
Bringing heaven down, to the here and now.
Yeah the kingdom is living in you and I,
It's anywhere the king resides.
(Anywhere the king resides)
(Anywhere the king resides)
I'm living for the kingdom.
