Child of the Kingdom
aka Is Anybody Home?
Slowly the sun climbs
over the mountain
Warmly the sun shines down
on the sea
I can't get used to
feelings you taught me to feel
though it's real
as the sun on my face...
​
Blow like the wind blows
down through the valley
Surely the wind knows
where it should be?
I'm lost and all alone
feeling just like a phone ringing
and ringing, with no-one to hear
Is anybody home?
Can you hear me?
My heart lost its way
is anybody home?
Maybe, maybe
The wind knows the way
the wind knows the way
​
Why do the poor ones
wilt by the wayside?
Why do the rich ones
trample the flower?
I don't believe that we've
lost love completely –
some-body knows
there's a reason to try...
Pray me a Kingdom
where there's no fighting
A world that's one country
one nation, all
Faith is a tiny seed
that grows to a mighty tree -
believe in the kingdom
it's coming at last...
​
Is anybody home?
Can you hear me?
My heart lost its way
Is anybody home?
Maybe, maybe
The wind knows the way
​
The wind knows the way, to
change me -- to pure Holy Spirit
to move me, to open my arms
to use me, to shape and to mold me
love me and hold me
and know who I am...
a child of the Kingdom!
