about

Kingdom Come – When I was 12, an unusual theologian stayed at our home while speaking to local church groups. Walter Fiscus was a Bible Belt preacher who did not believe in hell. It was an era of fire and brimstone preaching, so his gentle message was radical. He said, “What kind of almighty God creates humanity and decides that he has done such a bad job of it, he must burn his creations for eternity?”

lyrics

Kingdom Come

© 2021 by Eric Dahl

The town he was from
Is a place called Kingdom Come
With a sandy riverbank
And a funny name—
It’s the one place on this earth
He still drove from Fort Worth,
Cause Kingdom Come is so far away
It stays the same.

I’m going back to Kingdom Come,
Back to the place I’m from.
Look across the water, walk on the air,
Finding things I lost somewhere,
I’m going back to Kingdom Come.

With a Bible in his hand,
He knew his Lord and took a stand,
Found some others in the Bible Belt who agree.
He said, “Could God mess up so bad
On the best idea he had?
No, you’re not going to burn in eternity.”
I’m going back to Kingdom Come . . . .

He was 90 years old.
We were talking about the faith I withhold,
And how religion
Can seem like pure fraud.
I said, “Do you still teach those classes?”
He said, “Everything passes.
Lately I’ve been walking on the riverbank
Talking with God.”

I’m going back to Kingdom Come . . . .
