Here Comes the Groom

Here Comes the Groom

November 24, 2010

So long have You been planning the day

When I would give my heart away.

Before I knew what love entailed,

For my love, You took 3 nails.

For Your last breath up on that post,

My “old man” could give up the ghost.

On the third day, You rose up for me;

And it was I who dropped to one knee.

Fearful and broken, I knew You deserved more,

But for a reason I’ll never know, You loved me to the core.

You took the record of my sin and nailed it to Your cross;

Gave me a white wedding gown and said there was no loss.

And I’m so in love; I’ll never look back.

You’re all I could want; there’s nothing I lack.

In the mirror, I lift my veil.

If there once stood a sinner, now I can’t tell

Because that mirror that I’m looking through

No longer sees me; it will forever reflect You.

Complete Your perfect work in my heart

And prepare me for our marriage to start.

I long for the day, and pray that soon,

I’ll be able to sing “here comes the Groom.”
