#180: Stairway to Heaven (Radical Revision)

Lyrics to “The Romance of the Ages”   There's a lady who's pure Hid in God she’s secure And she’s waiting to wed her true Bridegroom She is young and she’s free Peerless worth she has seen By His Word she is sure where she came from   Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh And she's wearing a white gown that’s spotless   There's no wrinkle no flaw Found in Christ from before The whole world ever came into being   New creation behold Without blemish she glows With His presence she shows forth His nature     Oooh, it makes me praise Him Oooh, it makes me praise Him   She’s the pearl of great price A dear treasure to Christ And the Spirit is crying for marriage   Sterling beauty men see By her light they’re set free And her garments are fragrant with glory     Ooh, it makes me praise Him Ooh, it makes me praise Him   When He died on that tree Blood and water redeemed And His side was the womb where she came from   And a new day will dawn For all who stood long And the angels will chorus with laughter     Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh   She is the woman God has dreamed of Before creation The New Jerusalem is coming   The Lamb is ready to escort her To His chamber The Spirit’s calling her to join Him     And it makes me love Him Oh, whoa   Her heart is captured by His beauty And His glory The Bridegroom’s calling her to join Him Dear lady, can you sense His nearness? He’s been waiting The Lamb is ready to appear now   And now the drama it unfolds All that the prophets had foretold There stands a lady we all know   Who beams with light and is extolled And all within her turns to gold Exquisite stone and pearl from old When she is one with Him at last The Bride is ready for the Lamb She’ll be His wife upon His throne   And she's waiting to wed her true Bridegroom   Frank's Blog From Eternity to Here
