Story Behind the Song
The motivation of writing this song was and is to explain that the "church" is the Bride of Christ and we (Christians) are being prepared for the final wedding.
Lyrics
v-1
Daily cares are finding us.
Can't escape the chase.
Reality is blinding us,
With thoughts we can't erase.
Life is for the perfect soul,
Who finds pure rest in you Lord.
And we know you're preparing us
For our lives reflect the change.
But still we can't help yearning
To hear you say these words.
Chorus:
Here comes the bride, my long awaited bride.
Righteous, pure and holy,
she's finally by my side.
My spotless bride is here.
The love we share is clear.
My long awaited bride,
She's finally by my side.
V-2:
We're closing in on the day.
It isn't far away.
But changes must take place,
Before we see your face.
Looking in the mirror, Lord you see our hearts.
The truth is we can't stay the same,
And wear your holy name.
So now it's all up to us.
We can make the change.
Chorus:
Here comes the bride, my long awaited bride.
Righteous pure and holy,
she's finally by my side.
My spotless bride is here.
The love we share is clear
My long awaited bride
she's finally by my side.
Bridge:
The sanctuary is prepared,
anticipation is high.
Heavenly hosts have made their way.
The time has gone nigh.
(Back to chorus)
