Let Our Hearts Not Stray From The Kingdom

Let our hearts not stray from the Kingdom,
Not through sorrows or troubles or woe.
Like a man whose two feet have been bound to concrete,
Let us see there is nowhere to go.

Let our hearts not stray from the Kingdom.
Is there elsewhere to go, show me where?
As a woman so mild is bound to her child,
So the God of all things keeps us there.

Let our hearts not stray from the Kingdom -
From the Cross of the King of kings.
Though the way may be trying, still the old man is dying.
Our inheritance - marvelous things.
