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. |

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. |

What a beautiful song to touch our heart and sweet-smelling fragence for God's deep satisfaction! I believe this author did not just read the Song of Songs, then sat down and wrote this hymn. I believe brother Howard absorbed the spirit of the Song of Songs and entered into the reality of the divine romance as portrayed in this hymn. This song is a precious treasure to us and the Lord!

Before the world began, this was Your plan; the King of Kings to become a man, to court and to gain us, Your country girl.
May all of our relationships with You be so intimate, kissed and captured by You.
Oh the divine romance!
Thank you Lord Jesus.
