The Kingdom Gospel

by Brandon Alford

God counseled His economy
Antecedent to time
Thus all things that are came to be
Organically designed

What is visible are shadows
Heavens, earth, and all between
He catalyzed creation
So man could grasp what isn't seen

Yet the heart needs an unveiling
It's eyes caught under a pall
Of naturalistic rational
Stemming from first Adam's fall

"Your Maker is your Husband"
Diametrically opposed
By mortal thought so rooted
In its inbred finite prose

So to offspring of the viper
God consigned His only One
Placed them on a pole together
To germinate them both as sons

Now grafted, they receive the sap
Gushing from the living vine
Constituting them a holy race
Commissioned here in time

The sheaf is budding forward
The firstfruits have their wage
Plump full from this dispensing
Now ripe to turn this age

The high gospel now to trumpet
'Cross each soil scatter seed
Until every son of peace is reached
And God's life has met their need

Under holy jurisdiction
Each governed citizen
Plucks for themselves the birthright
To the kingdom they are in

Once earth and her inhabitants
Have heard this joyous news
The vineyard Master shall reap forth
And harvest all that is His due

Completing man's salvation
Ending death, closing time
All this because a Precious Seed
Fell into the ground and died
