1.

O God’s kingdom consists not of word,
But of righteousness, peace, and of joy.
’Tis received by the poor from the Lord;
But the rich and the proud He’ll destroy.

Chorus:

Can’t be moved! Can’t be moved.
For this kingdom is tested and proved.
It is not found in outward display,
For we bear it in vessels of clay.

2.

’Tis by faith we this kingdom attain;
But it must be a faith that’s alive.
Rest in God, and His peace we will gain
If in faith’s full assurance we strive.

3.

Through each trial comes judgment o’er sin,
With consuming, devouring fire.
To the Most Holy Place we go in.
Father, give us the strength we require.

4.

O this kingdom shall ever remain.
There the righteous shall rule and abide.
And there’s nothing there lofty or vain;
God alone shall be there glorified.

5.

Thank You, Jesus, You opened the way—
And by glory and might called each one
To gain life through Your death day by day.
Thank You, now and forever, God’s Son!
