<\/iframe>\n<\/p>This is a recording of a song I wrote recently. Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Your Kingdom Come<\/strong><\/p>\nKingdom of misfits<\/p>\nFellowship of fools<\/p>\nThe company you\u2019re keeping<\/p>\nBreaks all the rules<\/p>\nWe say we accept you<\/p>\nAnd just hate your friends<\/p>\nBetrayed with a kiss is<\/p>\nHow that story ends<\/p>\nYou were teaching us we must care<\/p>\nFor those who have traits we don\u2019t share<\/p>\nPeople we\u2019d be sure to see there<\/p>\nWhen the kingdom comes<\/p>\nYou preached a kingdom<\/p>\nWith room for us all<\/p>\nA place of healing<\/p>\nAfter our fall<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve prayed for its dawning<\/p>\nThought we saw it loom<\/p>\nOh why did you promise<\/p>\nIt would be here soon?<\/p>\nSome still speak as though the time\u2019s near<\/p>\nSome live every day in deep fear<\/p>\nSome pray even now through their tears<\/p>\nLet your kingdom come<\/p>\nNo more just waiting<\/p>\nWe start to build<\/p>\nThrough our own hands see<\/p>\nYour vision fulfilled<\/p>\nA place of safety<\/p>\nWelcome and peace<\/p>\nKindness and mercy<\/p>\nLove and release<\/p>\nYour kingdom come<\/p>\nYour will be done<\/p>\nYour kingdom come<\/p>\nYour will be done<\/p>\n(c) 2013 \u00a0James F. McGrath<\/p><\/blockquote>\nBy the way, when I share recordings of songs I\u2019ve written, do I need to flag these as \u201cdemo versions\u201d each time, lest someone judge them as though they were supposed to be a polished and perfected version, of the sort someone might release on an album? I recorded the instrumental track at home on a small keyboard without a sustain pedal hooked. I think the piano part really needs to be played on an actual grand piano for it to sound the way I want it to. So as I said, this is a demo version. Hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is a recording of a song I wrote recently.
