Divine romance

lyricist: Howard Higashi
Composer: Howard Higashi

How could a country girl like me

Become Your match — Your bride to be?

You’re holy and You are divine

But I’m fallen and human.

Without You

Lord

I have no chance

To be like You in this romance.

But You chose me ere the world began

Nothing could change Your plan.

This divine romance

Is My heart’s deep plan.

I became a lowly man

To court My country girl.

Nothing could deter

Nothing can alter

My eternal love for her;

I’ll gain My country girl.

No man or angel ever knew

This secret hidden deep in You

That You desired to be one with man

Before the world began.

Though sin came in to ruin me

Through Satan’s scheme and subtlety

Nothing could break Your love for me

To gain me totally.

This divine romance

Is My heart’s deep plan

I became a lowly man

To court My country girl.

Nothing could deter

Nothing can alter

My eternal love for her;

I’ll gain My country girl.

As King of kings You became a man

You died for me—I’ve been redeemed

In resurrection made us queen

To marry You

my King.

From death You ’rose and entered me

I now possess Your divinity;

In life and nature we’re the same:

Both human and divine.

In Your love I’m drawn

To You I belong;

I am not my own

Lord

I’m Yours alone.

By Your love I’m drawn

In Your name I’m charmed

And Your Person captured me

For I’ve been kissed by Thee.

Lord

in this close sweet fellowship

Lord

be with me so intimate

So personal and affectionate;

A sweet relationship.

Lord

daily change my inward being

Lord

all my heart possessing

In all my being—transforming

To be Your bride and queen.

In Your love I’m drawn

To You I belong;

I am not my own

Lord

I’m Yours alone.

By Your love I’m drawn

In Your name I’m charmed

And Your Person captured me

For I’ve been kissed by Thee.
