Terwijl zij zo bij elkaar waren, vroegen zij Hem: ‘Here, gaat U nu van Israël weer een vrij land maken, met een eigen koning?’ ‘Dat hoeven jullie niet te weten,’ antwoordde Hij. ‘Mijn Vader beslist hoe en wanneer bepaalde dingen gebeuren.
Maar als de Heilige Geest op jullie neerkomt, zullen jullie kracht ontvangen om de waarheid over Mij te vertellen aan de mensen in Jeruzalem en ook in Judea en Samaria, en zelfs tot in de verste uithoeken van de wereld.’

Verse 1
We long for Your glory, we seek Your ways,
But often our hearts chase the world’s empty praise.
Like disciples we ask for an earthly throne,
Yet You call us higher, to Your Kingdom alone.
Chorus
Your Kingdom, O Lord, is our hope and our call,
Not bound by one nation, but open to all.
In justice and mercy, Your love will abide,
We lift up Your name, let Your Spirit be our guide.
Verse 2
We’ve built up our idols, our flags held so high,
But Your Word reminds us, no nation’s divine.
Your reign is not power, not swords or a crown,
But hearts transformed where Your grace is found.
Chorus
Your Kingdom, O Lord, is our hope and our call,
Not bound by one nation, but open to all.
In justice and mercy, Your love will abide,
We lift up Your name, let Your Spirit be our guide.
Bridge
Break down the walls of our pride and our fear,
Teach us to love as Your coming draws near.
For every tribe, every soul You embrace,
Your Kingdom is built on Your unending grace.
Verse 3
Send us, O Savior, with Your truth to proclaim,
To carry Your light through the sorrow and shame.
From cities to nations, Your gospel we’ll share,
Your peace is the promise that conquers despair.
Chorus
Your Kingdom, O Lord, is our hope and our call,
Not bound by one nation, but open to all.
In justice and mercy, Your love will abide,
We lift up Your name, let Your Spirit be our guide.
Outro
O Prince of Peace, let Your will be done,
Till every heart bows to Your glorious Son.
Your Kingdom forever, our home and our song,
In You we find hope, where all peoples belong.
