Love's Desire"I come as the Bridegroom
Bearing gifts for my beloved;
I bring you myrrh and spikenard
The scent of anointed love.
Fullness of joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
Peace that passes all understanding.
Goodness that shall follow you
All the days of your life.
Mercies that are new every morning.
Forgiveness and restoration,
These are just a few of the
Treasures I desire to give you.
I draw you into Myself
With an everlasting love
I will love you throughout eternity,
And nothing shall separate Me from My bride.
The proof of my love
Comes in the form of death;
For while you were yet a sinner,
I died for you.
Love saw me through the pain of it all;
True love overshadowed the scourging;
Pure love bore the weight of the cross
Dying love swallowed death in victory.
Victorious love stands at the door and knocks.
Won’t you open the door and let Love in?
I have paid the price for you, my betroth,
Will you come when I call?"
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” Revelation 3:20 (KJV).
