Kingdom
of the Heart Lyrics
Words and
music by Mitch McVicker
This world
could come to a halt
And it
would not matter to me
'Cause
flesh is born of flesh
And spirit
is born of spirit
And this
all will fall
It's plain
to see
And when
the trumpet blows
I want
to hear it
Chorus
Sometimes
this world
It spins
so fast
I think
I might fall off
And sometimes
it slows
To such
a pace
I think
it might be stalling
Ah, but
this world is only one small part
Of the
kingdom of the heart
And I will
live there some day
When all
this passes away
And there
are things that you hold with your hands
Things
that you hold with your heart
I pray
I can learn to tell the two apart
I wanna
hold on to the things that last
'Cause
when the sun goes down
It can
get so dark
Chorus
This all
will pass away
And I've
seen the sun go down
Cruising
at thirty thousand feet
Sometimes
this world
It spins
so fast
I think
I might fall off
And sometimes
it slows
To such
a pace
I think
it might be stalling
Ah, but
this all will pass away
It's all
gonna pass away
It all
will pass...
And leave
the kingdom of the ... heart
Sometimes
this world
It spins
so fast
Sometimes
it slows
To such
a pace
Sometimes
this world
It spins
so fast
Sometimes
it slows
To such
a pace

From Mitch:
I began
writing this song five years ago as I was looking down out of the window
of an airplane. I was looking at the world and realizing that it was only
one part of God's kingdom. This life, in this world, can be such a roller
coaster ride, but my highs and my lows are much less drastic when I am
aware of, and living in the kingdom. When this world is gone, that kingdom
will remain.
