I Waited For You

The soul of joy like music from Elysian winds Ascend beside me veiled then quietly descends The desire which makes thee one with me Your penetrating presence for all eternity Beneath the tower and balcony Inside the garden wall and gallery Lying robed in snowy white Even through the noises of the night I wait for you! Your love that burns inside my blood Together we’re one – by Gods own word From within your side I came to thee You were made in the image of Christ for me! I wait for you! Speak, “I love thee better than best” I return, “Yes I love thee, I confess” Sit by my side, touch gently my hand For this day you’ve become my husband! I waited for you!
