The Wild And The Mild Kingdoms Poem by Daniel Partlow

Through the wild kingdom
Runs a way
Paved in wisdom
Straight as heaven’s ray

Can you see, Oh can you be?

And down the wild kingdom
There’s a windy road
Wide and random
Wolf and lion abode

Watch them growl, Watch them howl.

Straight to His Kingdom
Shepherd leads the flock
While the Sirens Ring-On
And hyena’s mock

They may laugh, at Heaven’s path, But don’t you worry.

Now in the wild kingdom
Their idols are cast
At the Ashteroth-lingam
The animals amassed

Pride and Greed and Vanity – They take what they want.

They prowl the wild kingdom
To find their prey
It’s all just a symptom
Of the coming da-a-ay

They want you, they call you,

On the road to His Kingdom
We follow His Cross
While the remnant of Edom
Turn and Toss

His blood was spilt, to clean our guilt.

Yea the fare to His kingdom
Was already paid
From the garden of Adam
‘Til the trumpets are played

He brought us life, an end to the strife.

Now at the gate to His Kingdom
The passage is small
But the Bride with her Ring-On
Is brought to His Hall

We are the bride, when in faith we abide.

Open is His kingdom
All you have to do
Is have faith in His kingdom
Have a heart so true

He died and rose, Now we wear His clothes.

To the Mild Kingdom
Runs a way
As strong as His wisdom
Bright as heaven’s ray.
