My Bridegroom

My Bridegroom’s coming for me,
And I’m making preparation.
I know not the day and time He’ll come,
But I’m watching with anticipation.

He promised to return for me,
When He left so long ago.
He’s preparing for me a better place,
And it’s marvelous, I know.

I was blessed when He chose me,
For my life was such a mess.
He forgave me all my sinful past,
When my sins I did confess.

He’s the Prince I have dreamed about,
Since I was just a child.
He rescued me and saved me,
For He considered me worthwhile.

When I accepted His proposal,
He robed me in a gown of white.
It was a symbol of His righteousness,
And it covered my every blight.

I am dressed, ready and waiting,
Because He’s coming just for me.
We’ll be joined together in marriage,
Which will endure eternity.

It will be a celebration,
Of grandeur and perfect love.
When Jesus, my Savior and Bridegroom,
Calls His bride the church above.
