A message from The Orchardist: Welcome to Advent. Every Friday, we will be sharing a new song prepared specifically for this season. We are calling this collection A Child Will Lead Us All after the song that has led the way for us. We hope you find in these songs words and melodies to lean on as we anticipate Christmas together.
And below you will find our first song for you. Lyrics can be found below, as well.
The kingdom’s coming as a seed Smaller than the eye can see From wanting eyes to set us free, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming as the rain To wash away our castles vain And cleanse the burdened heart from stain, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming as a word The wisest man has never heard And foolish lips will speak the cure, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming as a song Mournful dirge and anthem strong The cheer the ones who sing it wrong, kingdom come
A child will lead us all home
The kingdom comes from far away The kingdom has no place to stay To all who open up the door, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming to the poor Sons and daughters of the Lord And all that’s lost will be restored, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming as a feast The finest wine for all the least We’ll taste the broken bread of peace, kingdom come
The kingdom’s coming slow and true Till every inch has been made new And it will ask your life of you, kingdom come
A child will lead us all home
