TOLT Gen 3 — Isaac and Rebekah

Composed for Tour of A Lifetime 2024 / Part 30 Genesis 24 STANZA 1 The church—Christ's counterpart, The full satisfaction of His heart; She's the one desired and longed-for Bride He has yearned to gain in God's great plan. Once in eternity God the Father chose us from the world To include us in the divine romance Of a love between God and man. STANZA 2 Then His Spirit in time By arranging all our circumstance Comes and reaches us to voice His call, Sweetly calling us out of the world. He lays hold fast of me, Wooing tenderly with charm divine; Now that I am sealed, He has guaranteed— All He is and has are now mine! CHORUS 1 You have fully captivated me For my heart You've won and claimed as Yours— Whom not having seen yet most I love. Jesus I adore; I am henceforth His, His alone and His evermore. STANZA 3 Sometimes tough hindrance comes And I hesitate in times of trials, And the path ahead brings uncertainty But the choice is clearly simple to me! The price may overwhelm— To let go of worldly dreams and ways; But with brave resolve—never to turn back— With firm absoluteness I say... CHORUS 2 I will go to Him, my Isaac! Irresistibly He draws me so Unto His sweet arms and heart of love; From the world to You, my dear Jesus Lord At whatever cost I will go. BRIDGE Still set forth between us is a journey long— Difficult distances, desolate hours; Lord, preserve me so as this path I go Till Your presence truly I know. CHORUS 3 By Your grace we'll travel through the end Till Your precious face our eyes would see! Come dear Jesus, come and be with us! We await that day—for this we prepare— When we finally can declare... CHORUS 4 “At long last we meet, our Bridegroom sweet.” The Beloved with His love's complete! One forevermore we two become, Married happily! Christ is satisfied With His newly-wedded Bride! END Then in eternity We're a loving couple gloriously! #TOLT #Tourofalifetime #Genesis #TOLTpart30 #TOLT2024 #composedhymntolt #genesis3 #Isaac #grace #Isaacandrebekah
