I have a number of songs that blow me away. They bring tears to my eyes as I bask in the knowledge of God's grace and mercy. A few weeks ago, I bought Come to the Well, but Casting Crowns and track 8 is called "Wedding Day." I have listened to this song again and again as I reflect on how God sees me. Amazing.
There’s a stirring in the throne room
And all creation holds its breath
Waiting now to see the Bridegroom
Wondering how the bride will dress
And she wears white
And she knows that she’s undeserving
She bears the shame of history
But this worn and weary maiden
Is not the bride that He sees
She wears white head to toe
But only He could make it so
(Think about this verse. This is a remarkable reflection of grace! Each of us bears the shame of our own history. We are unworthy, worn, and wary, but we are clothed in Christ's perfect righteousness).
When someone dries your tears
When someone wins your heart
And says you’re beautiful
When you don’t know you are
When all you long to see
Is written on His face
Love has come and finally set you free
On that wedding day
On that wedding day
She has danced in golden castles
She has crawled through beggar’s dust
But today she stands before Him
And she wears His righteousness
She will be who He adores
This is what He made her for
(Again, think about this. When we stand before Christ, we will wear his righteousness and we are adored!).
When the hand that bears the only scars
In Heaven touch her face
And the last tears she’ll ever cry
Are finally wiped away
And the clouds roll back as He takes her hand
And walks her through the gates
Forever we will reign
(This final verse has amazing imagery. Jesus' hands will bear the only scars in heaven. By his wounds we are completely healed.)
