Lyrics:
There is a far kingdom
A ways from here
Beyond the storm and the sea
There will be no need of darkness
And none for tears
When that far kingdom I see
There’s a river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom
There is a far kingdom
On the other side of the glass
And by a faint light we see
Still there is more gladness
Longing for the sight
Than to behold or be filled, by anything
There’s a river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom
There is a far, far kingdom
There at the end of the sea
Where they know my name
And until that far, far kingdom
Calls me home
Oh, my soul, I will wait
For the river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King
And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom

This is heavenly. As a young dad and full time missionary with my wife and kids in South Africa, (often feeling like my efforts do little and often no one notices) the line "a far Kingdom ...where they KNOW MY NAME" hit deep in my soul and I started crying. Thank you the reminder and encouragement. Jesus is faithful and the Kingdom awaits us!

A couple of years ago, I sat down and did a study of Revelation 22. It became a great source of peace and comfort to me. Then I discovered this song. Do yourself a favor: read the beginning of Revelation 22, slowly and deliberately. Realize that this promise is a real thing. Then get rid of any distractions, put in some headphones, sit, and listen to this with your eyes closed. When you can start glimpsing even a little bit of this vision, and realize that this is what's waiting for us, it can truly overwhelm your soul. Keep up the great work, Dave and Licia. God is using your music to refresh the souls of believers. Your music means a lot!!!

I, even I, have seen Heaven , the Kingdom of God, before. This is our testimony. Lo, a vision came to me in the night when my dream was sweet unto me. And the Lord said “before I fashioned you in the womb I knew you. U are fearfully and wonderfully made. No weapon formed shall prosper against you. And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” And said I, “ah, my Lord, I cannot speak. I am but a babe.” And he said unto me “ say NoT that you are a babe, but speak these things unto them that I will show unto thee.” And the heavens were rolled away as if they were a scroll. And I was cast into outer darkness. And I could hear evil voices from all directions. “Jesus is a lie.” They whispered. Suddenly , I was lifted up. And taken to a new place, where they glorified the host of heaven, “Hallelujah , glory to the almighty King in Heaven for He is Righteous and Everlasting! And He has prepared an inheritance for his people, he is faithful and true,” they sang. . And it was as the sound of many waters and rolling thunders. And I saw all things that were, that are, and that will be. And in the silence without speech…I saw a multitude , hundreds of thousands gathered before the most high giving praise. And as I heard, I understood. All of their voices were as the sound of trumpets, yet as I heard, I understood all that they declared unto me. And after all these things, then I , Michael, saw a new heaven and a new earth. There was no death. For all things were made new and the former things were passed away. There was no sun. And there was no sea. But the light of God was the light and life to all things. He that lives by the sword dies by the sword. He that takes into captivity goes into captivity. Here is the wisdom and the patience of the saints

It reminds me that our true home, the true Kingdom to which we belong, is waiting for us. In this Kingdom there will be no sickness and no isolation. But freedom that our earthly minds can only but begin to fathom. Thank you for this beautiful and wonderful song. 💖

It has to impress me, and I am impressed. Great lyrics, great vocals, and I love the little touches. Even the production's good! I'll definitely check out more of your stuff, just know you made a fan.

What really did it for me though, was your hour and some change kickstarter concert you did and i realized just how much heart and love goes into writing your lyrics. All of the unique stories you tell with each song are simply captivating. All in all you two are amazing and you should never stop doing what you do. From the bottom of my heart and from the gods above, thank you.

The whole song follows the same progression: C-G-D-D/D#-Em-C-G-D There isn't any deviation from this progression, but in the verse where he sings solo, the first half is played with just the bass.
