Chorus:
I come running down the aisle
I’ve been waiting for the day where I can see my maker
I know that I am dirty, but you have made me clean
I know you have died for your children

Verse 1:
To be running with my savior
Eating the bread of life
Drinking the wine of my lover
Tasting the fellowship that he wants us to have with him

Verse 2:
Trying to figure out the passion you have for me
Wanting to find out the mystery how you bring serenity in the midst of my distractions
I want to spend the time of my life living for you,
Until I come running down the aisle, and get to embrace you.

I look to the mountains, and I see your hands
I look at the trees, and remember the cross that set me free
Dad I want spend time with you, but as my life gets busy
It hurts because I have been so distant from you, but I am longing to come back
For you to cradle me in your everlasting arms

The world tells that there is no one who can take the place of a father
You are the ultimate parent, the loving redeemer, the infinite provider
I want to trust you, as I give you pieces of my broken life
It is hard to imagine, a love that transcends my understanding
A mercy so divine, that it makes me ask the tough questions

You have told me you wanted to hold me
Wanting to crawl into your lap, but feeling so far away
You whispered my child, I want you with me
You want me to crawl into your lap as you hold me close
Against you, as I feel your warm embrace, I find true peace

As I look for ways for you to use me,
You have gently held my future in your palm
Your hands once pierced for me, bring healing to my soul
Within your words, I find what it means to die to myself
That is when I truly live again

Prechorus: As I think about the wonder As I think about the God who made thunder I just want to beat with love for the lost Just as your heart rejoices when someone comes to salvation

Chorus: Eternity can never change my mind, I wanna be there with you Shining in your glory, basking in the radiance of your majesty I want to worship you, with my entire being wanting to be there with you I can’t see the reason, I can’t be there with you now but I know there must be a plan

Verse 1: Be there with the angels, joining in the singing, dancing with the lillies Walking in the light of the streets paved with gold Can’t ever get get enough of your miraculous splendor When I will I see you, when will you call me home

Verse 2: My face radiates your love, and my smile has shown others your joy My prayer today is that I would remember it is all about bringing glory to your name I don’t know the answers, but I only am filled with questions I want to ask you when you call me home I have waited so long, but I will keep on fighting for I know the outcome, in the end you will reign

Chorus:
Will I ever see the beauty inside, you created when you made me
Will I ever see myself the way you see me
White, and washed in the blood of the Lamb
You have cleansed me from my sin and filthy rags

Verse 1:
Help me see the treasure you placed inside of me
The heart that beats for others before myself
You have taught me what it means to die to myself and live for you
I don’t know how to explain it using words, so I can lead by example

Verse 2:
When I see myself the way that you do,
Then I will be fully satisfied with the new
The man you created me to be in beginning
I am so free I can go on singing

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

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

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

Song inspired by “Beloved” off the Album “Speaking of Silence” by Tenth Avenue North

Prechorus: You have drawn me into your presence
Your love has captured my essence
I will seek you with all of my being
I will worship the one true king

Chorus: Have I remembered the word that you spoke
When you told me that your love was everlasting
I can rejoice because you have drawn me
To yourself with loving kindness

Verse 1: I know I am loved by the Alpha and Omega
When I feel all alone, I can rest in your love
I know you will never leave me
As I wait for you to return

Verse 2: I have been empowered to love because of your unfailing love
I have been called to you because you chose me
I have been free, because of your loving kindness

Chorus:
My friends have lifted me and pointed me to the truth
I realize that my life is so good
I didn’t know that my friends cared to encourage me
A single note, saying that someone is praying for me

Verse 1:
I have never felt so loved,
By my creator, and my friends
I am beginning to see what friends mean
To help point you to the true king

Verse 2:
I have decided to turn my back on this world
And if my family chose to leave me,
I would prevail, because there is truth in the nails
My encouragement I receive from my brothers and sisters is the wind in the sails

Verse 3:
I have been beaten up and battered
By the winds of this life, but by the grace of God
I will let the struggles roll off me, like the waves
Knowing that I am secure in my Saviors arms.
