Jon Simpson - Kingdom Come Lyrics

I'm finding out there are things that I thought I knew
That are better unlearned
Because they've only served to blind me and keep me from
Everything for which I've yearned

Like an instrument silent so long it believes that it hasn't a song
I've been chained by the thought that whatever i've got's not enough

If I love any lie let it break this heart of mine
If it's gripped in my hand slip it through like grains of sand
'Cause I don't want it if it's not part of Your Kingdom come

Are we spending our time on things that don't matter now
Not that they ever did
Have we finally resigned that what's broken will never change
And in turn never live

Every thing that we do in the life that we pursue
All means nothing if it's not fixed on what's lasting and true, so...

If I love any lie let it break this heart of mine
If it's gripped in my hand slip it through like grains of sand
'Cause I don't want it if it's not part of Your Kingdom come

Come throw wide the doors to reality
Only the truth will set us free

No more time for games - not a wasted life
No more empty words - bring the dark to light
Everything that I am, everything that I'm not
Everything that I lack, everything that I've got
Has been given by You, may for Your fame alone it be used

If I love any lie let it break this heart of mine
If it's gripped in my hand slip it through like grains of sand
'Cause I don't want it if it's not part of Your Kingdom come
