maybe in this there has been a glimpse of the kingdom
a foretaste
a hint
a promise
let it hold you and let it send you

until peace is the way
until grace is the law
until love is the rule
until God’s realm comes
until God’s realm comes
until God’s realm comes…

Amen.

If you haven’t read Chuck Klosterman, you should. I just got turned on to him - not Christian at all, pop culture commentator, really funny, and comments on a range of things from Saved By the Bell to the Real World to Left Behind.
