Betrothed to You and You to I

Lately, I have been reminded of God's ever-so-gracious love...a love so beautiful, so genuine.  A love so freely given, yet rarely taken.  My eyes have been open to God's grace in a whole new way lately.  He has removed the old "understanding" of grace and replaced it with a new one. Pastor Don's words blessed my heart last night at church..."God does not love us because of what we do, have done, or have not done. God simply loves us because we are His children; His sons and His daughters." God loves me because I am His daughter, not because of what I've done! O, how great You are Lord! How grateful I am for Your gracious love! Eternally grateful... I can never thank You enough. I am so undeserving, but yet You choose to bless me daily with Your loving presence.

I was taken back to this poem I wrote a few years ago.  You have called me by name and I am forever Yours, Lord.  I only wish to be closer to You. You are beautiful. I love You.

Betrothed to You and You to I

This is the day every girl has waited for,

The day that You will call me Yours;

With the look on Your face when I walk in the room,

Everyone will know that You are the Groom.

Betrothed to You and You to I,

Your love holds me up so high.

My white gown so beautiful and pure,

Since the day we've met, You've been so sure;

That I am precious in Your sight,

Your love for me shines so bright.

Betrothed to You and You to I,

Not a day without You passes by.

You slowly lift the veil from my face,

The love in your eyes leaves my heart embraced;

Unveiling my beauty for all to see,

That You are mine and I am Thees.

Betrothed to You and You to I,

Your love for me is never shy.

Romance me with Your love and hold me close,

You tell me that I'm Your beautiful rose;

The touch of Your hands are so soft and warm,

The sweet love in Your voice leaves me transformed.

Betrothed to You and You to I,

I can see the love in Your eyes.

You are the one who holds my heart,

No one or any thing can bring us a part;

Not bits and pieces, but my heart as a whole,

You are the Lover of my soul.

Betrothed to You and You to I,

Without Your love I would die.
