Rich Mullins The Other Side of the World lyrics

[Foreign content]

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

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
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
