This Kingdom

Every line points at Jesus: “God’s righteousness revealed,” “The Son of Man, the Son of God,” “redemption’s sacrifice.” Rather than describing the singer’s feelings, the verses name who Christ is and answer each title with the same short phrase, “His Kingdom come,” so petition and declaration arrive together.

The second verse widens from his work to his character: “the expression of God’s love,” “the Word of God, revealed to us,” and “God’s holiness displayed,” each now “glorified” and “justified.” The chorus then moves from the King to the Kingdom itself. It “will know no end,” its glory has “no bounds,” and the repeated “this Kingdom’s reign… rule… power and authority” builds in steady steps back to “God’s righteousness revealed.”

Endless-kingdom language like this echoes Isaiah 9:7 and Luke 1:33, while the Son of Man title draws on Daniel 7:14. Because the lyric stays on Christ’s identity rather than personal testimony, it suits congregations that want to sing the claims of the gospel aloud and let them frame the rest of the service.
