The Kingdom Shall Be the LORD’s

Obadiah 1:17-21

[Call] On Zion deliverance, on Zion holiness, Jacob a fire and Joseph a flame, Southland and plain, Samaria and Gilead, [Response] The displaced return to the fields they had lost. The proud mountain learns it cannot keep its name. Exiles once scattered receive place again. [Verse 1] Saviours ascend, but they do not own the throne, Judgment is given, yet the crown is not theirs. The kingdom shall be the LORD’s, [Call] Higher than Edom and stronger than swords. The last line answers the first mountain’s boast: [Response] No nest in the stars can rival the throne. Possession and holiness meet in one word, [Final Chorus] Southland and plain, Samaria and Gilead, Exiles once scattered receive place again. The kingdom, the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
