Man’s Creator has a purpose
For our being here on earth.
In His image we’re created,
To express His rule on earth.
But man fell to Satan’s tempting;
Thus God’s goal was hid from view.
Still our God will have His kingdom,
For His Son will see it through.

Jesus Christ will get His kingdom

By growing in the hearts of man.
It’s nothing like religion teaches:
“You have to wait until you die.”
For the kingdom Christ is building,
Is here on earth before our eyes.

Time is short, oh, brothers, hear it,
Christ is longing for His Bride.
We can hasten His returning
Simply by the growth in life.
No more struggling, no more striving,
Simply turn to Christ within.
See the seed begin to blossom.
Growing fully into Him.
