Lord, how long

1
Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom,
’Til You come, Lord, how soon?
Don’t delay for that coming day, coming day.
Grant me, Lord, to be filled
With You, Lord, every day.
Dearest Lord, take me all the way.
  Come, Lord Jesus,
Please come, dear Bridegroom;
Precious One, come soon, come soon.
Lord, consume me!
Oh Lord, don’t let me stray,
Faithful to You all the way.
2
Lord, make home in all my heart
In my secret, deepest parts,
Hidden, Lord, and reserved for You, for You.
You would be preeminent
In all things and all events,
Possessed by Thee to this extent.
3
In my prayer and deepest plea
In my spirit always be
Saturated and soaked with Thee, with Thee.
This would be my life daily.
Every hour expecting Thee,
This I pray, Lord, desperately!
4
The universe, in it we see,
In the sweetest touch of Thee,
You’re my choice and my destiny, destiny.
Lord, whate’er the price may be,
Lord, Amen, let it be!
Oh, my Love, please come back quickly!
5
In Your love I am constrained.
What’s within, I can’t contain.
Lord, I can’t any more restrain, restrain.
In Your love, I’ll pour on Thee.
And the church, Your Bride to be,
This my choice voluntarily.

Divine romance... I really appreciate this song. My consideration is on the one hand the Lord desires to come again to gain His Bride of peerless worth and on the other hand the church, His Bride needs to cooperate with Him in His yearning. This song was composed in such a way... Firstly, taking care of the Lord's interest in relation to His coming again and secondly, taking care of our heart. "To be filled" and "taken all the way". Not to "stray" but "be faithful all the way". Allowing Him to make His home in all our heart. Praying desperately to be saturated and soaked with Him every hour, expecting Him. Being willing to pay the price what ever it may be. And in His love pour our all on Him. "And the church, Your Bride to be, this my choice voluntarily." Amen Lord Jesus. We just look away from all other things unto YOU! Your great love has captured our hearts. We love You back. And may our love toward you and the saints grow till it eventually ushers in Your return! We love You dear lovely Bridegroom... Make this our reality daily... Amen Lord Jesus, come!

One day right after I woke up, the Lord gave me this hymn, and I fell into tears at once. I realized I have not been thinking about the Lord's return in my life. I only cared for myself. I need to repent to the Lord for not yearning for His return!

Oh Lord Jesus, saturate me with You, and make home in my heart, all my deepest parts! Grant me a heart that always love You, and a mind that always think about You. I yearn for Your return!

Oh Lord, don't let me stray,

Faithful to You all the way.

Lord, may I treasure You more today and faithfully await Your coming. I pray that my inward being would be One with You.

Amen..come dear Bridegroom. Every time I listen to this song I come to realize that in everything we do, it must be to hasten the Lord's coming. We should not be the reason to delay the coming of our dearest Bridegroom. Oh Lord Jesus, I hope there will be a meeting here in UAE. Lord, I want to be mingled with Your chosen people as a part of Body.

I confess my love to the Lord. I think it's easy to love the Lord. I also admit that I don't have the desperate prayer to be watchful for our dear Bridegoom's return. This song reassures me that I need not be reluctant to let the Lord come in to the rooms deep within me that needs cleaning. Tonight I am touched by the Lord's dear trusting presence. He is ever gentle and caring...loving us with His very Being. Like a child, I really can only trust HIM. Even if I try, He knows that only He is able!! So now I pray, "Lord, have all the ground to accomplish your work in me. Come even into all the rooms that I do not know are even there! Lord I love You! And come Lord Jesus!

I fear that I am not yet prepared for the Lord to come back again. Yet I can no longer grieve the Lord but hope for His return. Now the Lord's interest & desire is all I'm longing for. Saints let's all choose to pay the price for Him to be our destiny. That we may all hasten His coming and say "Amen. Come Lord Jesus."
