| The Bride July 2000 Justene Martin |
For years I've seen myself Through someone else's eyes A vision that's obstructed By worldliness and lies. I compare myself with others But the standard isn't fair For I can only see facades And Jesus isn't there. Facades are just illusions A flimsy house of cards Blown about by winds of doctrine Never reaching to the heart. But Jesus wants to peel away The foolishness and pride That has kept me so far from Him And reveal what's deep inside. There's a person hidden in there Full of mercy, love and grace And He wants to prepare her To take her rightful place. A place of holiness and honor Walking by His side Not just an illusion But as His pure spotless bride. |
