Let’s shake the movers and move the shakers
Turn off the TV, start the coffee maker
Maybe a little obsession would be a good thing
It’s been awhile since we’ve gone into the night, yeah
We do some talking but we’re easily frightened
Back to the sofa with our vanilla pudding
Oh
Is it time to lay our comfort down
Time to give until it hurts
Empty our cup into our brother’s hand
Is this the kingdom coming
We read the papers, but we cannot fathom
The poverty and violence that happens
And in our neighborhoods the wealthy are starving, too
We are surrounded by the underfed, so
Load our shoulders with some water and bread, Lord
Take us to the hungry, show us what love can do
Oh
Is it time to lay our comfort down
Time to give until it hurts
Empty our cup into our brother’s hand
Is this the kingdom coming
Ooh, ooh
We are not free if we can’t give freely
If we live to have, we don’t have anything
Oh my heart, it’s good to bleed
Is it time to lay our comfort down
Time to give until it hurts
Empty our cup into our brother’s hand
Is this the kingdom coming
Is it time to lay our comfort down
Time to give until it hurts
Empty our cup into our brother’s hand
Is this the kingdom coming
oh
Is this the kingdom coming
oh
