Lyrics
It started with faith as small as a seed
Yeah, everything changed the day I believed
My sins washed away, these blind eyes could see
The gospel keeps on givin' and it won't end with me
The kingdom of God is livin' in me and in you
The kingdom of God is in bloom
The waiting is over, the Word has been sown
Here's the fruit, the kingdom of God is in bloom
The Father above, He loved us so much
He sent down His Son to die on a cross
But Jesus is risen and we've been commissioned
Heaven keeps on movin' and it's movin' through us
The kingdom of God is livin' in me and in you
The kingdom of God is in bloom
The waiting is over, the Word has been sown
Here's the fruit, the kingdom of God is in bloom
The harvest is great but the workers are few
It's time to branch out outside of this room
There's no time to waste, go tell the good news
It's time to branch out, the kingdom's in bloom
The harvest is great but the workers are few
It's time to branch out outside of this room
There's no time to waste, go tell the good news
It's time to branch out, the kingdom's in bloom
The kingdom of God is livin' in me and in you
The kingdom of God is in bloom
The waiting is over, the Word has been sown
Here's the fruit, the kingdom of God is in bloom
The harvest is great but the workers are few
It's time to branch out outside of this room
There's no time to waste, go tell the good news
It's time to branch out, the kingdom's in bloom
It's time to branch out, the kingdom's in bloom

Meaning & Inspiration
“Bloom” uses the picture of a seed becoming fruit to describe faith taking root and the good news spreading beyond one person. The opening moves from small beginnings to cleansing and spiritual sight, then the chorus celebrates the kingdom of God as living and growing. Its language keeps salvation centered on the Father’s love, the Son’s death, and the risen Christ rather than on personal achievement.
The later call to leave the room and share the good news gives the song a clear mission focus. Images of sowing, harvest, fruit, and workers closely echo several teachings of Jesus, especially the parable of the sower and His words about a plentiful harvest with too few laborers. The repeated phrase “the kingdom of God is in bloom” gathers those images into an accessible picture of active faith. Hope in the resurrection leads naturally to witness, presenting belief as something that bears fruit and reaches outward.
