Track 3: Entos (Within and Among)

V6

# ENTOS (THE KINGDOM WITHIN) [Intro – filtered spoken male baritone, felt piano and low sub-bass] They said look up, look out, look over there He said, watch what God is doing here Not a throne that the world can own The King draws near; we're not alone Within us... among us... Entos... within... among... [Verse 1 – rhythmic spoken-sung male baritone] Luke seventeen, let the words breathe slow God's Kingdom isn't ours to control Not just a promise beyond the skies His reign draws near; let the heart arise Known in the womb, before my first breath Your hand held life through the mystery of flesh Renew my mind; let the old roads bend Make me more faithful in the way I live [Pre-Chorus – piano ostinato, organ begins to pulse] Renew the mind, let mercy lead Guard the heart and examine the seed Not by force and not by pride Let Your truth remake what's inside [Chorus – fully sung, masculine choir enters] Your Kingdom is at work within us Your mercy moves among us here Not ours to claim, not ours to master Your faithful presence draws us near Here in the now, Your will be done Through every heart, through everyone Within... among... Your Kingdom comes We live by grace, not what we've become [Verse 2 – shuffled percussion, industrial-acoustic texture] The farmer sleeps; the seed still grows How life unfolds, the farmer doesn't know We tend the ground; the growth is Yours Grace meets the flesh; Your mercy restores Mind can learn and bodies mend But You are more than means or ends Two or three gathered in Your name Make us a people changed by grace [Pre-Chorus – stronger kick, muted gospel organ] Renew the mind, let mercy lead Guard the heart and examine the seed Not by force and not by pride Let Your truth remake what's inside [Chorus – wider harmonies, restrained choir] Your Kingdom is at work within us Your mercy moves among us here Not ours to claim, not ours to master Your faithful presence draws us near Here in the now, Your will be done Through every heart, through everyone Within... among... Your Kingdom comes We live by grace, not what we've become [Breakdown – heartbeat kick, felt piano and organ only] Become like children; teach us to receive Give us the faith to trust and believe A cheerful heart can strengthen the day But You are the Healer, the Life, the Way [Bridge – intimate spoken male baritone] I'm not saying faith is chemistry Or that the flesh contains eternity I'm saying grace can meet us here In honest work, in love, in fear Science may show us part of the frame It cannot contain the fullness of Your name Body and spirit, dust and breath Held in Your mercy, in life and death [Drop – instrumental, chopped masculine choir] Within... within... Among us... among us... Your Kingdom comes... Your Kingdom comes... [Final Chorus – maximum textural grit, full masculine choir, piano remains audible] Your Kingdom is at work within us Your mercy moves among us here Not ours to claim, not ours to master Your faithful presence draws us near Here in the now, Your will be done Through every heart, through everyone Within... among... Your Kingdom comes We live by grace, not what we've become [Outro – filtered spoken baritone, beat recedes to piano] The door is open; come and see Bring your questions; walk humbly The code is a map, not the Flame The Word remains; we learn in His name Within... among... Your Kingdom comes... [End – felt piano resonance, room noise, no artificial fade]
