Rich Mullins - The Other Side Of The World Lyrics

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 But 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 But the 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
