"Beloved"

I've been meaning to blog recently, but I haven't found much of a spare moment. This quarter has been insanely busy, and honestly I'm counting down the days until it's over. 53 days until my last final. Oh boy.

But I have been so struck by this song in the past few months, and this morning I woke up with it stuck in my head. :) It's called "Beloved" by Tenth Avenue North.

I'm all about images, and this is such a gorgeous picture of how my Jesus loves us. I just wanted to write down the lyrics for you guys, and hopefully you love it as much as I do. :)

Soon I'll update my blog for real. :)

Love of my life,

Look deep in My eyes,

There you will find what you need.

Give Me your life,

The lust and the lies,

The past you're afraid I might see.

You've been running away from Me.

---

You're my beloved.

Lover, I'm yours.

Death shall not part us.

It's you I died for.

For better or worse,

Forever we'll be.

My life it unites us,

And it binds you to Me.

It's a mystery...

Love of My life,

Look deep in My eyes,

There you will find what you need.

I'm the giver of life.

I'll clothe you in white.

My immaculate bride you will be.

Oh, come running home to Me.

---

You're My beloved.

Lover, I'm yours.

Death shall not part us.

It's you I died for.

For better or worse,

Forever we'll be.

My love it unites us,

And it binds you to Me.

---

You've been a mistress My wife,

Chasing lovers that won't satisfy.

Won't you let Me make you My bride?

You will drink of My lips

And you'll taste new life.

---

You're My beloved,

Lover, I'm yours.

Death shall not part us.

It's you I died for.

For better or worse,

Forever we'll be.

My love it unites us,

And it binds you to Me.

It's a mystery...
