Jesus
Jesus why is it that You are crying? Why are You so sad?
What is it that’s making You feel oh so terribly bad?
Will You share with me what You’re going through?
Will You let me Jesus, extend my lap to You?
Please rest Your weary head right here and shed all of Your tears.
Tell me what’s been happening all through the years.
Thank you, Dear Heart, for taking time to ask Me of My pain.
Thank you for listening while I take the time to explain.
My Bride has gone so far from Me, she’s drifted so far away.
She’s mingled in the world, you see, and this just isn’t the way.
You see, one body, one town is the way it’s supposed to be.
And now it’s become all about them, instead of all about me.
They’ve split into many divisions, drifted into many different faiths.
They don’t even realize, they’re just not aware of their fate.
They’re more concerned with their buildings than they are for the poor.
They’d rather keep them on the streets than invite them in their doors.
They take up collections for their parties and their fun.
Don’t they understand that they’ve forgotten about the Son?
They focus on their pastors and his teachings more than mine.
They’ve forgotten how to love each other and all they do is whine.
Sticking to their programs, making sure they end by noon,
Is more important than prayer and letting the Spirit move.
Their worship is scripted and penciled in, you know.
And their prayers and their praise have to be just so.
My heart is so broken from all they continue to do.
Two thousand years and I’m still being beaten, shredded, and torn in two.
I’m tired of hurting Dear Heart, of waiting for them.
I want it to be over, I want it to end.
I’m waiting and longing for my spotless Bride
To be with Me and to walk by My side.
I’m sad to say there’ll be only a few
Who’ll be spotless and white the day we say, “I do.”
My Precious Jesus, it won’t be long now.
We are spreading the word and showing them how
to leave Churchianity and get back to their roots.
How to focus only on You and how to bear good fruit.
You don’t have much longer to wait, my Lord,
for Your Bride to be spotless and fully restored.
Then the pain that You’re feeling and the tears that You’ve cried
Will all have been worth it when she’s by Your side.

Dear Bride To Be
Jesus I feel this emptiness way down deep inside
I feel so broken hearted, yet I just can’t seem to cry.
I am in such agony and I’m drowning in despair
Jesus will you help me? I can’t feel you anywhere.
Jesus I feel you calling me, but I’m bound and can’t get free.
I’m ugly and I’m dirty, how can you long for me?
My spirit is caged down deep inside within my broken heart
I can’t bear the pain I feel from us being so far apart.
I long for you to love me, to feel your spirit in the air.
I long to feel you hold me and know you really care.
I long in desperation to have a relationship with you
But I don’t dare believe that it really could be true.
Why were they all allowed to beat me down so bad?
Why was I allowed to grow up hurt and oh so mad?
Can’t you see they bruised me and ripped my body to shreds?
Can’t you tell they crushed me until I was almost dead?
Dear bride to be please hear yourself. They did the same to me.
They bruised me and they crushed me and they left my body to bleed
I suffered everything that you have and I can help you to understand
That you are my beloved bride oh please won’t you take my hand?
I will heal the bleeding of your heart and your pain and suffering
If you will take a step closer to me and begin to release everything
Ever so slowly won’t you open up and boldly come to me?
