The Heart of God
|

|
In a time before time, In an age before the ages, There was God, all alone, in eternity. Yet He had a heart’s desire. And an object He required; A desire in His heart For a bride, a counterpart That was deep inside the hidden heart of God. |

So the heavens He spread, Earth was made, its foundations laid. At His word were the birds and the animals. Then He breathed the breath of life in To a man created like Him. As they walked along the way In the coolness of the day The intent was still within the heart of God. |

Man surveyed what God made Giving names, but he never came To a mate, and he ached for a counterpart. He could taste the ’ternal yearning That so long in God was burning! Eve was built from Adam’s side And his heart was satisfied; Told the story of the hidden heart of God. |

But when Eve was deceived What was pure fell beyond a cure. Dead to God through the dread serpent’s subtlety. Left creation in a quandary! Generations lived in mystery! Seeking Job could not perceive But persisted to believe There was purpose in the hidden heart of God. |

In the time He designed He was born of a virgin’s womb To reveal what was sealed from eternity. He was born in human history To reveal its greatest mystery. That the answer for the earth Was that Christ so loved the church. He would die to satisfy the heart of God. |

As the throne had foreknown Many men were deceived again Through the lies they devised He was crucified. As the lonely grain was falling Still the joy before was calling; Blood and water from His side Would redeem and build His bride. She would satisfy the riven heart of God. |

Though His death’s final breath, Finally fell, He could not be held For His life was divine and unbreakable. He arises, powers hear it! He will court her as the Spirit! As the Spirit giving life He will find and form His wife. She will satisfy the living heart of God. |

When He breathed, she received His divine personality, Moving in, washing sin, death and age away. So that He might sanctify her By the washing of the water! Adding beauty, adding health To present her to Himself And to satisfy the holy heart of God. |

In a time beyond time, In an age beyond the ages, God and man will be one for eternity. Hallelujah, what a story! She was brought from gloom to glory! And the longing from the start For a bride, a counterpart Is fulfilled inside the happy heart of God. |

Gods heart from eternity past to eternity future. The first stanza touches Gods original intent in eternity past which is to have a glorious bride for himself. Hallelujah! the bachelor God planned and purposed in eternity past. For this purpose he created, he incarnated, he redeemed, he is sanctifying and he is preparing, he is doing everything in his power and wisdom to obtain her. All these processes he took on the bridge of time (stanza 2-8) just to gain a wife for himself. Hallelujah no one can stop him... in eternity future (stanza 9) God will have his hearts desire. The riven heart of God will become the happy heart of God. The bachelor God will become the married God. This is the story of the whole bible, God and man, man and God fully satisfied for eternity.

Left creation in a quandary! Generations lived in mystery! Seeking Job could not perceive but persisted to believe there was purpose in the hidden heart of God.
What a mercy that we can perceive the mystery that was hidden in God throughout the ages (Eph 3:9)!
