 Song Book

170: They shall come from the east

1.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Both the rich and the poor,
the despised, the distressed,
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
And none will ask what they have been
Provided that their robes are clean;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

2.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
To be met by their Father and welcomed and blessed,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
The black, the white, the dark, the fair,
Your colour will not matter there;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

3.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Out of great tribulation to triumph and rest
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
From every tribe and every race,
All men as brothers shall embrace;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west.
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

 Today's Sunday Church Share... 

Today our church share is a little closer to home.  On my way to work every morning I drive by this beautiful window.  I must say though, the picture does not do it justice as there are so many more colors that are not captured here. Everyday I kept wondering how to take a picture of it because to take a picture, I literally had to stop in the middle of the street. As it's very early and very dark when I pass through, I really didn't want to get out of my car. I couldn't take my time, as I had to stop, hoping no cars would come along. I quickly snapped a photo and went on my way. Wanted to share this view that I see and appreciate every morning. ~ Mindy

Victory Life Church in Sidney.
