WE ALL NEED TO FEEL WE’RE LOVED
NOT WALKIN’ THROUGH THIS WORLD ALONE
NOBODY WOULD CHOOSE A BROKEN HEART
NO MATTER HOW MANY LIES THEY TOLD
THE WAY OF DESTRUCTION CAN BE SO SLOW
I’VE SEEN THEM COME I’VE SEEN THEM GO
BUT THEIR EMPTY WORDS LEFT ME NOWHERE
UNTIL I KNEW MY SAVIOUR CARED
JUST LOOK AT ME NOW
I CHANGED BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME
LORD LOOK AT ME NOW
I’M YOURS FOR ALL ETERNITY
I’VE CHASED ALL THE DREAMS THIS WORLD CAN GIVE
ALL I DID WAS JUST EXIST
NO NOTHING WAS REALLY WORTH IT AT ALL
BUT I KEPT DANCING TO THE FIDDLER’S CALL
LIKE A PUPPET I PLAYED A LITTLE PART
SMILING FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
NO ONE KNEW OF THE HUNGER INSIDE
TILL YOU CAME LORD AND RESCUED ME
CHORUS
NOW EACH DAY IS A NEW ADVENTURE
LEARNING TO LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE
SEEING MY LIFE THROUGH YOUR WONDROUS EYES LORD
LETTING YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE MY CHOICE
YOU SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND LIFT ME HIGHER
ABOVE THE CARES OF THIS WORLD CAN GIVE
YOU HAVE SHOWED ME LIFE’S TRUE MEANING
NOW YOUR THE REASON THAT I LIVE
CHORUS 2X
I’M YOURS!
THE BODY and BRIDE of CHRIST
We are the body and bride of Christ. God made Eve by using part of Adam’s DNA (Gen 2:21). For Adam to feel complete once again, he needed Eve. In Christ, there is no male or female (Gal 3:28) but each believer has both masculine and feminine characteristics. The body of Christ is the masculine quality: to preach the gospel and make disciples (goal-oriented) whereas the bride of Christ is the feminine aspect: intimacy with God (relationship through prayer and praise). Understanding this truth should eliminate awkwardness for men to accept that they are the bride of Christ.
MASCULINITY
God molded Adam from dust: to take dominion of the earth. Jesus’ sacrifice created the body of Christ: to preach/make disciples throughout world. BODY OF CHRIST (outward mission)- preach Gospel and make disciples in all the world (Mt 28:19,20). Like a Soldier: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Jos 1:9
FEMININITY
God took a rib from Adam’s side: to make Eve his bride/helpmate. Jesus’ side was pierced; His blood bought his bride/helpmate. BRIDE OF CHRIST (inward relationship)- intimacy with God through prayer and worship. One with Christ in spirit. 1 Co 6:17
