Father's Kingdom

Heaven is but a hollowed name, 

for father's kingdom is forgiveness, 

a path of righteousness and patience

will not pass away, 

with or without men's knowledge, 

for father never fails. 

 

Heaven is but a hollowed name, 

for father's kingdom is love, 

a path of hope and trust

 will never crease, 

with or without presence of men, 

for our father's house overflows with souls. 

 

Those who dwell, 

dwell freely, 

new beginnings taken 

and given freely, 

to the humble, proud, weary

souls of earth, 

for our father is the debtor who forgives. 

 

With him, 

claws of death walk in shadows of fear, 

presence of evil and temptation 

become quiet waters, 

burdens of souls are simple, 

prophecies are delivered, 

for he is the prophet of his own prophecies
