Since ages past, there’s been a longing in God’s heart

Since ages past

there’s been a longing in God’s heart

For a bride that would match Him

a counterpart.

So

He planned a great romance

He planned to marry man.

The Bible is the story of this great romance;

God and man

the couple—what magnificence—

Will be married to become the New Jerusalem.

The Triune God

today

is calling us to be

His dear bride

preserved for Him exclusively.

Into us He’s poured His love

His life

and nature

all.

A brand new heart

the Lord has planted deep within

One that’s soft

that loves

desires none else but Him

So that we need only guard the heart He’s given us.

It’s with the saints we exercise our loving heart

Eat the Word and from the meetings ne’er depart

Hold a conscience good and pure and thus we will be the bride to bring

To bring our Bridegroom back.
