The Heart of God

In a time before time

in an age before the ages;

There was God

all alone in eternity.

Yet He had a heart’s desire

and a counterpart required.

A Desire in His heart

For a bride a counterpart

That was deep inside the hidden heart of God.

In His plan

He formed man

who surveyed all that God had made.

While he ached for a mate

for a counterpart.

Man could taste the e’ternal yearning that so long in God was burning!

Eve was built from Adam’s side

And his heart was satisfied;

Told the story of the hidden heart of God.

But when Eve was deceived

what was pure fell beyond a cure;

All creation enslaved under vanity!

God was born in human hist’ry

To reveal its greatest myst’ry!

That the answer for the earth was that Christ so loved the church;

He would die to satisfy the heart of God.

So alone this grain dies

but with joy to obtain His prize.

And with life both divine and unbreakable!

He arises

powers hear it! He will court her as the Spirit!

Blood and water from His side will redeem and build His bride

She will satisfy the riven heart of God.

When He breathed she received His divine personality;

Flowing in

washing sin

death and age away.

So that He might sanctify her by the washing of the water;

Adding beauty

adding health

to present her to Himself:

Full of glory for the holy heart of God.

In a time beyond time

in an age beyond the ages;

God and man will be one for eternity.

Hallelujah! What a story! She is brought from gloom to glory!

And the longing from the start

for a bride

a counterpart

Is fulfilled inside the happy heart of God!
