There Is a Great Mystery

There is a great myst’ry, a romantic story
For ages it was veiled, but now fully revealed
‘Tis a romance divine, 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 He became a man, with a definite plan;
His name is called Jesus, and He came to seek us.
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 I have lived in sin, I now have been redeemed
By Christ who died for me, Who was raised in glory.
Now I am joined to Him; Together we’re living;
I love to enjoy Him, for I’ve been forgiven.
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.
His love is so tender, to Him I’ll surrender,
His name’s full of savour, I gladly call in prayer;
His person’s so charming, my heart ever winning;
I’ll hold back no longer, I’ll love Him forever.
