Text:Away in the Kingdom

22. Away in the Kingdom

1. Come all oppressed and hear me tell
Away in the Kingdom,
That Jesus conquered death and hell,
Away in the Kingdom.
He bought my pardon on the Tree,
Away in the Kingdom.
I'm glad to tell you now I'm free,
Away in the Kingdom.

Chorus:
There's plenty of room,
Away in the Kingdom.
There's plenty of room, my Jesus says,
Away in the Kingdom.

2. Of glorious liberty I'll sing,
Away in the Kingdom.
And make the heavenly arches ring,
Away in the Kingdom.
He, all my prison bars did break,
Away in the Kingdom.
My yoke of bondage He did take,
Away in the Kingdom.

3. I all my sins on Him did lay,
Away in the Kingdom.
And this to me my Lord did say,
Away in the Kingdom:
"If you my mandates will obey,
Away in the Kingdom,
I'll give you a home with me to stay,"
Away in the Kingdom.

4. Lord, I believe a rest remains,
Away in the Kingdom.
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
Away in the Kingdom.
A rest where all our soul's desire,
Away in the Kingdom,
Where fear and sin and grief expire,
Away in the Kingdom.
