THIS DIVINE ROMANCE

1 How could a country girl like me Become Your match — Your bride to be? You're holy and You are divine But I'm fallen and human. Without You, Lord, I have no chance To be like You in this romance. But You chose me ere the world began Nothing could change Your plan. chorus This divine romance Is My heart's deep plan. I became a lowly man To court My country girl. Nothing could deter. Nothing can alter My eternal love for her I'll gain My country girl. 2 No man or angel ever knew This secret hidden deep in You That You desired to be one with man Before the world began. Though sin came in to ruin me Through Satan's scheme and subtlety Nothing could break Your love for me To gain me totally. 3 As King of kings You became a man, You died for me — I've been redeemed, In resurrection made us queen To marry You, my King. From death You rose and entered me, I now possess Your divinity; In life and nature we're the same: Both human and divine. chorus In Your love I'm drawn, To You I belong; I am not my own, Lord, I'm Yours alone. By Your love I'm drawn, In Your name I'm charmed, And Your person captured me, For I've been kissed by Thee. 4 Lord, in this close sweet fellowship, Lord, be with me so intimate, So personal and affectionate; A sweet relationship. Lord, daily change my inward being Lord, all my heart possessing In all my being — transforming To be Your bride and queen. (Chorus 1)
