Verse 1a
Isaiah saw that it would come
beginning from Jerusalem
In the last days, to ev'ry tongue,
to ev'ry nation.

Verse 1b
And Daniel saw through prophet's eyes
a Kingdom that would never die,
A mountain that would fill the earth,
a Rock that would endure,

Chorus
That would be Great among the nations
a fire from the spark
so great among the nations,
bringing sunlight to the dark,
and offering salvation
to a world of broken hearts.

E
Among the nations there would be
a Kingdom that would change eternity.

Verse 2a
The scholars looked for Him in vain,
their earthly king, he never came.
Instead a carpenter would start
a Kingdom of the heart.

Verse 2b
And beaten bruised, He stretched His hands,
as God became a dying man.
And King on cross was sacrificed
For the church, His bride,

Verse 3a
And now this Kingdom is our own.
We bow before His Heav'nly throne
And pledge our lives to His great cause:
to seek and save the lost.

Verse 3b
And ev'rywhere, in ev'ry word
we share with all who have not heard
About the truth that sets men free
which prophets longed to see,
