There is a river that flows from the throne of grace
Its origin is found within God’s heart in His holy place.
It flows out beneath its threshold seeking the humble and broken
The warmth of the sun and the glow of the moon are only a token.
The love of a man and a woman is a divinely wrought sign
Of something far greater that God has in His eternal mind.
We look into each other’s eyes and feel the magnetic draw
But what He has for us is beyond anything we’ve ever saw.
We’re not called servants for He calls us His cherished friends
The mysteries of His kingdom are all ours as we make amends.
This world is only a shadow of His glorious kingdom to come
Imagine exploring hand in hand where Jesus and God are the sun.
They say that ear has not yet heard, nor has eye ever seen
Nor can we grasp or comprehend what His mind does mean.
Yet prepared by Him for those with love enlivened by Him
And heed his upward call to forsake their base earthly whims.
He gives us His Spirit with our saving faith so we can communicate
This way we now can hear His voice and in heavens plan participate.
Jesus promised He would come again and never leave us alone
Until we finally join Him around His mighty celestial throne.
He has a house waiting for us with many rooms above
Each room is a bridal chamber fraught with His love.
The place that is ours to enter with unselfish prayer and adoration
His ecstatic love is ours as we follow His call from creation.
Do you dare to believe His words that He will come into you?
He stands at your door and so wants you to know Him too.
When we open up to Him to more than knowing him with our mind
We can feel His presence, His loving touch for He is so kind.
He meets all our longings and wins our hearts so true
As a man with a woman His love reaches out to woo.
Oh, the power of our joining united together as one
There is no earthly feeling to compare under the sun!
Visions, dreams and ecstasy… these are all ours from Him to know
That God reaches out to those who dare to enter into His flow.
He rewards those who seek Him with all their hearts and wills
And longs for us to know Him intimately, how deep the thrills!
A husband and his bride are a mere taste of something far more
For Christ is our Husband who seeks a wife that will Him adore.
Imagine being loved by Christ as His one and only Bride
Though we are many to each one alone He will confide.
Our union with Father and Son, a unity that knows no end
Into it we are called to join them never again to descend.
Like binary stars in orbit as one, is heaven’s expanding love
As we answer the call of the Spirit, His boundless holy dove.
