demand answers to questions that I am often not ready or prepared to face.
This is a stone born from one of those nights.
Let me tell you about my groom;
He makes the rejected acceptable
He embraces the untouchable
He pursues the prostitute
He friends the outcast
He gives purpose to the lost cause
He beautifies the abandoned
He restores the rejected
He not only forgives me but declares me righteous!
He not only preserves my life but he gives purpose to my life
He not only took my shame but gives me the opportunity to glorify him!
He not only allows me into his presence but he calls me His beloved!
Lightning reports to my groom
Waves recess because my groom told them to
He stirs up the sea so that the waves roar
He stretches out his hand and silences storms
He speaks and commands the morning
He effortlessly counts the stars
My groom pleads the cause of his beloved
My groom understands that I am dust but equal to my status as nothing
is my status of “first born son”
My groom is a rich and generous king
My groom’s kingdom has nothing to fear
My groom has proven faithful to stinky, nasty birds, and little, tiny flowers
My groom gives me the ability to have faith in him
He satisfied the wrath of God that I accumulated
He is the water of life that satisfies the whore at Jacob’s well
He allows prostitutes to anoint his feet with tears
He commands disease, demons, death, and all dominions
He stops funeral processions to bring life to the dead
He carries the sin of his beloved on his shoulders
He is perfect
He is sinless
He is strong
He loves justice and hates evil
He is wise and as only one so wise could, he married justice and mercy at the cross
He overcame death
He understands all
He is undermined by none
His words are powerful and cut to the heart of his beloved
He spoke and stars filled the sky
He commanded and fish filled the seas
He seeks for me when I am the one lost lamb
He calls for me when I want to walk beside him on the water
He commands for me to obey
Who is like my groom and who will I even try to compare him to?
LISTEN TO ME BELOVED OF THE MOST HIGH
Because of the what Jesus has done for me, I already have the
justification, approval, acceptance
security, freedom, affection
cleansing, new beginning, righteousness and rescue
I so desperately long for
Because my groom covers my shame I am free to hide in Jesus have no need to hide from anyone.
Because my groom is perfectly strong I am free to be completely weak.
Because my groom covers my shame I am free to hide in Jesus have no need to hide from anyone.
Because my groom is perfectly strong I am free to be completely weak.
Because my groom is the someone I am free to be no one.
Because my groom is extraordinary I am free to be ordinary.
Because my groom succeeded for me I am free to fail. Because my groom has won I am free to lose.
