(original text)
How I long for
you. How I desire you
I have seen you
from the beginning of creation
and I have
longed for you.
There's none
like you.
I long for you.
You're my only one
My father
designed you for me.
I gave up my
flesh for you.
I was beaten
and battered and bruised.
I'm continually
ridiculed and scorned
Spit on and
mocked, shredded and torn,
My blood lay
all around.
You are my Bride,
So spotless and white.
Perfect in form
and beauty,
whole and complete.
Molded to fit
me ... so perfectly.
Oh, how I long
for you.
I've seen you
as you will be.
And yet I can't
you have you with me.
You are married
to the world.
You're
connected to the wrong one.
Bonded to all
that is not of me.
One flesh with
that which I despise.
I've called you
out, I've called you by name.
Dear Heart, why
won't you come again?
What ties you
to the world?
How long must I wait?
How I long for you.
My tears flow
all around,
My joy is gone
without you.
I find no
friendship, no solace,
no comfort and
no peace.
Without you I
am incomplete,
Oh, so empty.
How I long for you.
Where are you
my Bride?
Where are you
my Love?
Where are you,
Dear Heart?
I die daily
without you.
I want you, I
ache for you.
How I long for you.
I am crucified
daily,that you might go free.
I am shredded
and torn, until your chains fall free.
I'm in agony,
in agony ...
until the world
is left behind.
Please, Dear
Heart, Please leave all and come.
Please Father,
please say it's time.
Have I waited
long enough?
Please say it's time.
How I long for you.
Please come
back to me, I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting for you.
How I long for you.
