Salt for the Kingdom

I heard this song at my nephew's baptism this past Sunday.  
I forgot how much I loved these lyrics.  
They inspire me!

Bring Forth The Kingdom 

by Marty Haugen

Verse 1 
You are salt for the earth, O people,
salt for the city of God!
Share the flavor of life, O people:
life in the kingdom of God!

Verse 2 
You are a light on the hill, O people,
light for the city of God!
Shine so holy and bright, O people:
shine for the kingdom of God!

Verse 3 
You are a seed of the word, O people,
bring forth the kingdom of God!
Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice,
grow in the kingdom of God!

Verse 4 
We are the blessed and a pilgrim people,
bound for the kingdom of God!
Love our journey and love our homeland:
love is the kingdom of God! 

Refrain 
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace.
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the kingdom of God!
