The Awakening
The Bride of Christ is awakening to take her place in strength and beauty, bringing heaven to earth in this season.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
THE AWAKENING
by Patty Rigdon
Here comes the bride
All eyes on her beauty
Fastening her gaze on the Bridegroom
Beckoning her to His side.
The Father gently lifts the veil from her face
Awakening her with His life giving kiss.
Forever joined to the One who loves her most
She rises fully to take her place
Always adorned with His empowering grace.
Here comes the bride
Filled with power and glory
Embracing her identity with awe and wonder
Eternally changed by the fire blazing in her
True love’s gifts flow abundantly within her.
Here comes the bride
Born from His side
Revealing the heart of the Father
Abundant life streaming from this pure and shining one
Who abides so freely in love’s most holy place.
Here comes the bride
Freedom bells ringing on high
All creation shouts His praise
As she launches from glory to glory
Displaying His rainbow of colors in full array.
Here comes the bride
Bringing heaven to earth
Offering redemption to all who will hear
Lift up your head, your redemption is now
Hell quakes as the Bride awakes!
Prayer
Lord awaken us, your Bride! We say yes and amen to living the abundant life you destined for us through our union with Christ. Fill us with your power and strength as we press on through today into the glory of tomorrow. Reveal to us today how we may partner with you in bringing heaven to earth in this season of awakening for your Church.
