Lover And His Bride
by Allison Durham Speer

Album: Break This Heart

The voice of Christ the bridegroom
The Church, His holy bride
Like lovers who have too long been apart
They long to be together
To meet and be alone
To share the hidden secrets of their hearts

(Bride)
Hear the voice of my beloved
Hear him call to me
"Arise, my love, come and meet me
Where forest glades meet the stream"
Hear the voice of my beloved
"You are fairer than a dove
In the secret, hidden places we know well
Come, meet me there, my love."

(Lover)
Come away and fly with me dear lover,
lover of my life
Meet me now before the morning breaks
and shadows flee away
You are like the towering mountains and the forests
filled with fragrant trees
You are more relaxing than the cooling fountains at
the end of a long, long day
We must have our time together, let nothing ever
keep us apart
You are far more precious to me than gold, yes,
fine, fine jewels or gold
You are the apple of my eye and the lover
of my heart forever
Oh, won't you come and meet me there, my love
