The church is Christ’s deep longing And His good pleasure too. His every word and action Is made with her in view. His heart’s love is established, And nought can Him deter; Before the earth’s foundation His thoughts were filled with her.

The eve of all creation He mused on His delight, And pondered every feature, Well-pleasing in His sight. Creation sprang to being, But deep in Him did hide A heart of depth unfathomed Fixed on a glorious Bride.

Then mercy richly flourished, And love was, oh, so vast, As graciously He sought her With wisdom unsurpassed. The love He gave to win her God only comprehends! His life laid down, an offering Whose fragrance yet ascends.

And now in resurrection To her He draws most near, And with untold affection In glory does appear. As she beholds her Bridegroom, His glory floods her heart, ’Til she, His Bride, is raptured, His longed-for counterpart.
I am touched by this song so much! Eph. 5:25: Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her...that He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but she would be holy and without blemish.
This song and the verses above brings me into the inner part of His affection, brings me into an untold intimate relationship with Him. Oh, my dearest Lord, I love You! May Your heart's desire being fulfilled soon!
This song always motivates me from deep within to join with His innermost intention and feeling for the church. His viewpoint is higher and deeper, richer and purer than any seeing or recognition I could possibly have from myself alone. What a wonder that a mere hymn could convey such great sentiment and tender mental reflection into my own small heart.
