[Melodic intro] Don’t run when they point at a sign in the sky Don’t chase every rumor, don’t follow the lie It’s not a headline, not a crowd you can see The kingdom is near, and it’s in you and me [Verse 1] The Pharisees came asking, “When will the kingdom show?” He said, “You won’t catch it coming on a TV screen, no, no You won’t point and say, ‘It’s here,’ or ‘It’s over there’ The kingdom of God is already breathing in your care” [Chorus] Don’t run when they point at a sign in the sky Don’t chase every rumor, don’t follow the lie It’s not a headline, not a crowd you can see The kingdom is near, and it’s in you and me [Verse 2] And he told the disciples, “There’ll be days you’ll long For one clear glimpse of the Son of Man, but the world keeps moving on They’ll say, ‘Come quick, it’s here,’ but don’t go with that call When it comes, it’ll flash like lightning over all” “First I’ll suffer hard, and this crowd will turn away Like Noah’s day, people eating, building, laughing in the gray Like Lot’s old town, they bought and sold without a thought Till the fire came down and everything they’d built was lost” [Chorus] Don’t run when they point at a sign in the sky Don’t chase every rumor, don’t follow the lie It’s not a headline, not a crowd you can see The kingdom is near, and it’s in you and me [Bridge] When that day breaks, don’t go back for the stuff If you’re on the rooftop, leave it, that’s enough If you’re in the field, keep moving, don’t turn around Remember Lot’s wife, don’t let the past slow you down [Verse 3] If you try to save your life, you’ll miss what’s alive If you let it go, that’s how it learns to survive That night two are sleeping, one will rise and one stay Two women at the mill, one is carried away Two men in the field, same sun, same dust One taken, one left, and that’s on all of us [Outro] They asked, “Where, Lord?” He said, “Look where the body lies That’s where the eagles circle the open skies”
