Marriage (draft 2)

With nails being driven into His opened hands
A crowd had gathered as the question stands
Do you take this whore to be your wife?
I do! He shouted as the breath left His life

On the altar with tears running down my face
In complete awe of the man who took my place
With but one life changing decision left to make
This man wants to be your husband will you partake?
I do! I do!
Jesus I want to be betrothed to You.

I love You I love You please know that I do
But Jesus my Jesus I've been cheating on you
Why would you deal with this mess?
Why would you deal with every sin you know I've commited before I even confess?!

"Because I love you so much!"

But Jesus no you don't understand I've done nothing but sinned by the palms of my hands!
"Oh my bride I do understand
I tasted your sin when they drove nails through my hands!"

But Jesus you're so far away I can't stand to be apart!
"My beloved I'm closer than you think I poured out my love for you when the spear pierced my heart!"

BUT JESUS I STILL CANT SEE!

"put your fingers through the holes in my palms and feet if it helps you believe!"

BUT JESUS!!!
"My beautiful Bride, no more 'buts' I know that you've sinned so I gave you My blood!
I know that you're lonely so I gave you true love!
I know you can't see me but beloved believe!
I gave you my spirit so we can still speak!
I gave you a lift when you needed a lift
I love you SO much I even gave you gifts!
So My dear Church don't tell me you can't go on
For I am with you!
Stand up and walk!"

Oh my groom what a gripping gift to give!
You laid down your life for me and now I truly live!
But Jesus...my Jesus I can't wait for our honeymoon on High, when the church bells will be ringing and paradise will descend from the sky
You told me forever
And to me you've never lied.

I love what you've done with it. It's gritty and raw. You've really created a powerful message of redemption,

looks like you've been hard at work on this and it shows!
