Yeh let's turn our eyes on Jesus!
WORTHY, WORTHY ARE YOU BELOVED
Worthy, worthy are you beloved, oh Son of the living God,
We come, singing praises unto you in one accord,
And now we you bride are coming out of the wilderness,
As we draw closer smelling your sweet fragrant essence.
We will keep our helmets of salvation firmly on our heads,
To keep us from swallowing Satan’s lies and concentrate on you instead ,
This world has nothing to offer us, only through you we have eternal life,
And you have called us right into your chambers as your precious wife.
So now we are coming up higher to be where you are,
No longer wanting to glimpse upon you from afar,
And we lift our prayers and praises upwards to your throne,
For we are so thankful and joyous to know you call us your own.
Your sweet embrace is so beautiful to us our dear bridegroom,
And we thank that you are preparing mansions with many rooms,
For you have made us beautiful out of ashes, making us fit for a King,
And eternally we will come with praises honour and glory singing.
And we yearn to spend time with you like Mary seated at your feet,
For the time we have talking with you is so precious and sweet,
And you pour love, grace and mercy constantly upon us your bride,
So we come longing for that day when eternally we will be by your side.
But for now we gaze up to your throne- room our beloved King,
Drawing closer and closer your praises forever we will sing,
And we are seeking like Moses to see you face to face,
For you gave your life for us and saved us by your grace.
You are seated at the Father’s right hand, preparing a place for your wife,
For you through your grace and mercy given us who are undeserving eternal life,
And you say in your Word that you are ravished by one glimpse from our eyes,
And that each and every one of us will be a special jewel to you in paradise.
You our Lord and Saviour are the object of our love you see,
And we long to know you better, on this at least your people will agree,
For it is you who paid the price for our sins and set us free,
Now you will take us near, far and wide a witness for you to be.
For there are people out there who you desire as part of your bride,
And you have given us a commission from which we cannot hide,
To take the good news of salvation to the hurting and the lost,
We long for your return but you are tarrying for a purpose.
So for now we seek to come closer, coming right into your throne room,
For we long to dwell in your presence our precious, sweet bridegroom,
And we come thirsty and hungry with deep longing for you,
Standing amazed in wonder that you are longing for us too.
