Wayward Bride

Wayward Bride

This song came when I was reading Ezekiel. Heavy stuff. Makes me feel like a wretch.

Here are the lyrics:

Placed in your heart, the stone and the carved image

I gave all you want, then you turn, a soul imprisoned

I drew you from the open field where you were cast and abhorred

My garment from the cold, a shield

Your body, full, adorned

I will stretch out My Hand

I will give to the fire

I will lay all bare

As you climb in the mire

How love-sick your heart---you built yourself a vaulted chamber

Your beauty mirrored death, to run to another savior

Twisted love, oh how you’ve strayed

Affections turned, a lofty space

Wayward bride, this price the grave

Oh how will it be paid

When I will stretch out My Hand

I will give to the fire

I will lay all bare

As you climb in the mire

I’ll bring you back to Me, My vow sure, My love still true

And all will see your shame, but I will be atonement for you....
