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

1
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.
2
The Bible is the story of this great romance;
God and man, the couple—what magnificence—
Will be married to become the New Jerusalem.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
