Lord, Your return...
How long must it be, dear Lord?
The ages have come,
The centuries have gone,
The years have passed us by.

A generation...
Lord, of them that seek Your face;
A remnant for You
Whose hearts are so true.
They're those who just love You.

Oh, generation...
The Spirit and Bride say come —
The Spirit's calling you.
The Bride is calling too!
Take heed to this mingled cry!

Come, oh seekers, come
To our Groom, most pleasant Person.
God's eternal plan
Is to mingle with man.
This His satisfaction.

Oh come, Lord Jesus...
For this cause, Lord, strengthen us.
Keep us faithful to stand
All the way to the end.
Uphold us in Your hands.

This song always attracts me looking at the Lord and His return. Many generations have passed, many His servants have gone, Lord hasn't come back yet. He waits for New Jerusalem, His Bride, to be prepared well for wedding. Pictures on that day are so wonderful. To be possessed by Him everyday is our goal of living. This accomplishes God's eternal plan and satisfaction. Lord, let's love You, desire Your return everyday.
