How could a country girl like me
Become Your match — Your bride to be?
You’re holy and You are divine
But I’m fallen and human.
Without You, Lord, I have no chance
To be like You in this romance.
But You chose me ere the world began
Nothing could change Your plan.

No man or angel ever knew
This secret hidden deep in You
That You desired to be one with man
Before the world began.
Though sin came in to ruin me
Through Satan’s scheme and subtlety
Nothing could break Your love for me
To gain me totally.

As King of kings You became a man,
You died for me—I’ve been redeemed,
In resurrection made us queen
To marry You, my King.
From death You ’rose and entered me,
I now possess Your divinity;
In life and nature we’re the same:
Both human and divine.

In Your love I’m drawn,

What a beautiful song to touch our heart and sweet-smelling fragence for God's deep satisfaction! I believe this author did not just read the Song of Songs, then sat down and wrote this hymn. I believe brother Howard absorbed the spirit of the Song of Songs and entered into the reality of the divine romance as portrayed in this hymn. This song is a precious treasure to us and the Lord!
