There is a great mystery,
A wonderful story;
For ages ’twas hidden,
Now shown in His wisdom;
’Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God’s speaking.
A wonderful story;

’Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God’s speaking.
God fell in love with man;
For only God’s love can
Make man just the same as He
In life and in nature.
We are His expression,
His bride, His enlargement;
Forever, together,
As living, insep’rable as one couple
Eternally.

Though He was rejected
By men who were blinded;
His love is constraining,
His heart still unchanging;
Thus in incarnation
Came He as salvation;
His name is called Jesus,
And He came to seek us.

Though born as a sinner,
His blood has redeemed me.
He suffered on Calv’ry,
Then raised up in glory,
To regenerate me.
Now joined in one spirit
I love to enjoy Him,
For I’ve been forgiven!

His love is so tender,
To Him I’ll surrender;
His name is so precious,
I gladly call, “Jesus!”
His Person’s so charming,
My heart ever winning;
I’ll hold back no longer,
I’ll love Him forever.

Recovery Version of the Bible, Revelation 22:17, note 1:
The entire revelation of the Bible shows us the love story of a universal couple. That is, the sovereign Lord, who created the universe and all things, the Triune God - the Father, the Son, and the Spirit - who went through the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, and who ultimately became the life-giving Spirit, is joined in marriage to the created, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite man - composed of spirit, soul, and body - who ultimately constitutes the church, the expression of God. In the eternity that is without end, by the divine, eternal, and surpassingly glorious life, they will live a life that is the mingling of God and man as one spirit, a life that is superexcellent and that overflows with blessings and joy.
Praise the Lord!

God fell in love with us!
In fact He approved us, appreciated us and POSSESSED us even before the foundation of the world. Not only that He foreknew us, He also predestinated us to be His counterpart in this divine romantic story.
Thank you for your choosing, my Husband. I love you.

Beautiful song, gentle & soft music and heartiest words, happy to have it flown over and over again in my 8-5 work life... It'd stuck in my heart many years ago, have never felt bored listening to it! Listening to hymns is always the easiest and most comfortable way to turn to Him in whatsoever situation.
