Well the other side of the world

Is not so far away as I thought that it was

As I thought that it was so far away

But the other side of the world

Is not so far away

And the distance just dissolves into the love

Into the love



And the New Jerusalem won't be as easy to build

As I hoped it would be

As I hoped it would be easy to build

But the New Jerusalem won't be so easy to build

There's many bellies to fill and many hearts to free

Got to set them free



But I see a people who've learned to walk in faith

With mercy in their hearts

And glory on their faces

And I can see the people

And I pray it won't be long

Until Your kingdom comes



And I know that the gates of hell

Are not prone to prevail

As I thought that they were

As I once thought they were prone to prevail

But I know that the gates of Hell

They have been destined to fail

I see Satan impaled on the sword of the Word

On the sword of the Word



And I see the people who have learned to walk in faith

With mercy in their hearts

And glory on their faces

And I can see the people

And I pray it won't be long

Until Your kingdom comes



And I can see the people who have learned to walk in faith

With mercy in their hearts

And glory on their faces

And I can see the people

And I pray it won't be long

Until Your kingdom comes

The other side of the world
