Braden McDonald - The Bride of Christ Lyrics

She's seen years of pain, years of trial, years of fear
She's been used, she's been abused, not knowing where to go
She freely gives herself away, drinks and drugs and hides from day
She longs to be set free from slavery's chains

Enter in, a Man without sin
The Lamb who takes away the sin of the world
"I gave My life, so that you might live
Give your life to Me, and I will break those chains... away
Away"

A way was made, and grace displayed
The light of hope tore into darkness, causing it to flee
And as she knelt, His gentle hand she felt
A love and peace beyond compare had come and made her His home

Oh sweet Lord! What could you see in me?!
That You'd leave heaven's glory just to die for trash like me?!
But in faith I accept, this promise that You've kept
I give my life a sacrifice, an offering of praise...

For You
Only You

Yearning for the day to come; I've forsaken every other one
Readied myself, spotless, white; could it be He'll call tonight?
The Bride of Christ I'm soon to be; my sole desire to kiss His feet
But He has said instead that He will serve me!
Lord, how can this be?!

She's seen years of pain, years of trial, years of joy
Sharing in the fellowship of suffering for His Name
She's been used, she's been abused, just like the One she loves
She freely gives herself away, so others might know Jesus saves
Are there any words that can express her love for Him? She sings...

Hallelujah! You're Lord of Lords and King of Kings!
My heart is filled with songs of praise! I glorify Your Holy Name!
You've rescued me from the second death! You're worthy of my every breath!
You've satisfied the deepest thirst! I love you, Lord, because You loved me first
Because You loved me first
