Kingdom Close to Home

Title: "A Little More Like Heaven"

Verse 1

There's a worn-out chair by the window,

Where my grandfather used to pray.

There's a picture hanging on the wall

Of a simpler kind of yesterday.

I used to think I needed everything,

A bigger dream, a faster road.

But I've learned the richest moments

Are the ones you can't hold.

Pre-Chorus

A little kindness, a little patience,

A little love when somebody falls.

Maybe the kingdom we've been searching for

Was closer than we thought all along.

Chorus

I want to make this world

A little more like Heaven.

A little more forgiving,

A little more like grace.

A little more healing

For the hearts that are hurting.

A little more hope

For the ones who've lost their way.

If I leave a little kindness,

If I shine a little light,

If I help somebody find their way

Through a difficult night...

Then maybe this old world

Will look a little more like Heaven.

Verse 2

There's a single mother working late,

Trying to make tomorrow come.

There's a lonely man at the coffee shop

Who just needs someone.

There's a thousand hidden battles

That nobody ever sees.

And maybe love is the answer

We've all been looking for in the streets.

Pre-Chorus

We don't need perfect moments,

We just need willing hearts.

Every little act of mercy

Can become a brand-new start.

Chorus

I want to make this world

A little more like Heaven.

A little more forgiving,

A little more like grace.

A little more healing

For the hearts that are hurting.

A little more hope

For the ones who've lost their way.

If I leave a little kindness,

If I shine a little light,

If I help somebody find their way

Through a difficult night...

Then maybe this old world

Will look a little more like Heaven.

Bridge

Someday we'll see the streets of gold,

The place where every tear is gone.

But until that day arrives,

I'll keep bringing Heaven on.

With every word of mercy,

With every hand I lend,

I'll be a little closer

To the heart of Heaven.

Final Chorus

I want to make this world

A little more like Heaven.

Where broken hearts can breathe again,

Where lost souls find their way.

A little more compassion,

A little more forgiveness,

A little more love

In everything we say.

And when my journey's over,

I hope my life has shown...

A little piece of Heaven

Can begin right here at home.

Outro

A little more love...

A little more grace...

A little more Heaven

In this place.
