Looking Forward to a Heavenly Wedding!
The following was shared on the ladies private website by Janet in Virginia, which I’m sure will be a blessing to others as well. Thanks for sharing this, Janet! And let’s all be blessed and encouraged as we consider the grandest wedding of all!
“As standers, I know we may tend to focus more on our spouses and circumstances than our Lord, because it is so easy to fall into the trap of making marriage restoration our idol. I’m sure all of us, as I have, have thought about our wedding day and remembered the excitement of preparing for that special day. And I have no doubt that those standers who are divorced are looking forward to renewing their vows. However, we all have another wedding coming soon, that is so much more important than any wedding we can ever have here on earth. It is our wedding with the Lord. We are His Bride. Our Lord is our groom. If we want to be our Lords’ Bride, we must prepare ourselves and turn our hearts and life completely over to Him. I have joy in my Lord, knowing that He is coming soon for us, His Bride. We will have a beautiful wedding with our Lord!
A friend asked me if I knew of any songs about the Bride of Christ. So, I did some research and stumbled upon this website from Bride of Christ Ministries. This song, The Wedding of the Lamb, brought me to tears. It is absolutely beautiful and I encourage everyone to listen to it. This song helps me to keep my focus on the Lord, rather than on my marriage restoration. The song is on the Bride of Christ Ministries website, and all you have to do is click on “Launch Audio” at this link, and here are the words:
In fine white linen, and the robe of righteousness,
We walk in unity, we walk in holiness;
No spot or wrinkle, there’s nothing we can hide,
Jesus Christ is coming, He’s coming for His bride;
The fires of life are rising, the last days have begun,
Through trials and tribulation, the testing time has come;
The Spirit of the harvest, is working out His plan,
The bride is getting ready, for the wedding of the Lamb.
CHORUS:
We shall rise, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb;
Lift your hands, holy hands, in worship of the Lamb;
Dance for joy, sing for joy, to the Father of the Lamb;
Lift your eyes, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb.
Signs and wonders follow, those who do believe,
The world shall see You, in all Your majesty;
We’re looking for Your coming, we’re watching at the door,
Jesus Lord and Master, our King forever more;
Entering the kingdom, and walking in the light,
Preparing for the wedding, we are the Bride of Christ;
The Spirit of the harvest, is working out His plan,
The Master waits in glory, for the wedding of the Lamb.
Tell this generation, tell everyone you see,
The Lord is coming, He’s coming for you and me;
Be filled with the Spirit, be in the secret place,
Standing on His promises, there is no other way;
The angels are awaiting, the Father’s great command,
To gather up the righteous, from all across the land;
The Spirit of the harvest, is working out His plan,
The Master waits in glory, for the wedding of the Lamb.
CHORUS
We shall rise, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb;
Lift your hands, holy hands, in worship of the Lamb;
Dance for joy, sing for joy, to the Father of the Lamb;
Lift your eyes, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb.
The angels of the harvest, are getting very near,
For those with eyes to see, the signs are very clear;
They’ll separate the righteous, from all ungodliness,
Those in worthless garments, from those in wedding dress;
The time has come for everyone, choose what you shall wear,
Garments made of righteousness, or garments of despair;
The Spirit of the harvest, is working out His plan,
The Master waits in glory, for the wedding of the Lamb.
The latter rain is falling, our rescue is at hand,
Pouring out His Spirit, all across the land;
Preparing for the harvest, the angels sing on high,
Glory to the Father, all glory Lord Most High;
The wedding invitation, it comes to one and all,
By faith you must receive it, until the trumpet call;
The Father of Creation, His Word our Guiding Light,
The Rock of our salvation, He shall wed the Bride of Christ.
CHORUS FINALE
We shall rise, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb;
Lift your hands, holy hands, in worship of the Lamb;
Dance for joy, sing for joy, to the Father of the Lamb;
Lift your eyes, to the sky, for the wedding of the Lamb“
