Pre chorus: (Me conversing with God)
With the voices in my head whispering you’re not good enough
You tell me I defeated your sin
When I spit in your face
I rejected your grace

Chorus: (Jesus speaking to the Church)
I have called you to live a holy life
I am longing for the church my bride
Stranded in the desert crying out for me
I gently call your name, as you come down the aisle

Verse 1: (My words to Jesus)
I see myself as dirty because of my fallen state
You look at me as covered, covered in your blood
As I run through the throne room
I can’t help but anticipate your arms thrown open wide

Verse 2: (Jesus speaking to the Church)
Did you embrace her when I was away
I see her as lovely
A trane filling the temple
Cannot contain the beauty that I see

Prechorus: As I enter the courtroom majesty divine
You are not guilty for all the crimes you committed
You are not condemned for anything you ever said
You stand before the council on this judgment day

Chorus: As I enter the courtroom, I see nothing but pure white
A miracle on the altar, burning with forgiveness
I ask myself the question, where are the people to condemn me
The judge tells me there is no one, no one to condemn me, to sentence me to hell

Verse 1: (To God) I asked what you held against me,
You told me there is nothing, just look and grab my hand
I have seen the place, where they spit upon your face
You then proceeded to show me, how sufficient is your grace

Verse 2: A courtroom with nothing against me
A gavel of love and grace
The verdict is out, I have nothing against you
As you enter my presence, may I always cover you

Prechorus: I have been bought with the blood of Christ Though I no longer live Christ lives in me I cannot explain the joy that’s inside A pure and spotless bride

Chorus: Come away my beloved
Come away with me
Come away my bride
Come away with me

Verse 1: (From God to us) A crimson red flows from my wounds
A dress so white, whiter than snow
The tale of the ages
Waiting in anticipation for the spotless bride

Verse 2: I look to the cross, I see love and forgiveness
As you look to the Earth,
You see the church your bride All the days ordained, within your precious hand
Though You didn’t wear a ring, You are the one true king
