Kind of Kingdom

"The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Romans 14:17).

The kingdom of God is not meat and drink,
Or pious facade that forbids us to think.
For social religion, contrived regulation,
And empty tradition, are not His salvation.

For we are released, by God's righteousness,
By His perfect peace, and His joyfulness,
To His liberty through His Holy Spirit,
For all who will see, and all who will hear it.
