His

falling down
to worship them
gods of worldy love and gain

never thinking
of the one
whose life i've come to claim

the beauty fades
the gain grows dim
all earthly love forsakes

the broken bride
begins to cry
all she has loved has fled

return to me
the bridegroom cries
beloved whoring bride
i've loved you first
and in the world
and love you to the end

she runs along
the narrow road
to where he waits for her

she falls and lays
a broken one
as He calls out her name

but then he runs
to hold her close
and whisper of His love

and as her tears
fall on his feet
His light pervades her soul

return to me
the savior cries
beloved chosen bride
i've loved you first
and in the world
i love you to the end
