Oh, adulteress heart, be settled!
Rest in the all-consuming love of your Bridegroom.
Though you are in the desert
He has brought purpose to each step
and life to what was dead and hardened.
He is leading you, and romancing you
He has brought you here so that only He can quench your thirsty soul
with waters that extend to reach in the most intimate places of your being.

Oh, wandering heart, be still,
for your Bridegroom has given you all you require
His vow is forever, and His covenant unbroken.
You are cherished
and made quiet in His love.
You are made beautiful by His delight in you.
His pleasure rests on you before you even rise with the sun to face the day.
You need only bask in the gloriousness of His pure, passionate LOVE!

Oh heart, so prone to fear and run
BE CAPTURED
Be captivated by the alluring pursuit of the greatest Love you'll ever know
that will be faithful and gentle,
wildly passionate and strong.
He will delight in you eternally, and pursue you enduringly
You are the one His heart burns relentlessly for.
The one He would stop at nothing for so that He may call you His
The one who changes your name to 'Sought After'
He has taken your rags and impurity
and washed you in His crimson sacrifice.
He adorns you with robes of righteousness
and clothes you with garments of salvation.

Oh heart, so hesitant to lose control,
give it all!
Your name is engraved in His hand,
and written into His book of life.
His love burns for you,
jealously, it binds you to Him
so that you who belong to Him cannot fathom the depth of His longing for you
for how passionately He desires your whole heart,

Oh heart, be swept away in the love
that paid the price that you weren't worth,
but the love that allowed you to share in His holiness,
to abide in His courts,
to sit on His throne
to rest in His shadow
and to share in His victory.
.

It is your forever love bond.
