Will you let Him make you His bride?

these few days, i've been listening to Tenth Avenue North...
when i listened to Beloved, i just heard it and did not listen...
and when i finally listened to it, it struck me hard...
and also, to watch and know the meaning behind the song is.....
i can't explain it...
i'll attach the song, lyrics and behind the song clip and maybe you could make your own conclusion/opinion on it...





Beloved by Tenth Avenue North


Love of My life
Look deep in My eyes
There you will find what you need
Give Me your life
The lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see
You've been running away from Me (yeah)

You're My beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
My Love it unites us
And it binds you to Me
It's a mystery

Love of My life
Look deep in My eyes
There you will find what you need
I'm the Giver of life
I'll clothe you in white
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh, come running home to Me (yeah now)

You're My beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
and it binds you to Me (yeah now, now)

Well, you've been a mistress, My wife
Chasing lovers that won't satisfy
Won't you let Me make you My bride
You will drink of My lips
And you'll taste new life

You're My beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
And it binds you to Me

You're My beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
My Love it unites us
And it binds you to Me
It's a mystery

you know, the bridge actually struck me the most for some reason
every time i listened to the bridge, my heart hurts...
the bridge is this part

Well, you've been a mistress, My wife
Chasing lovers that won't satisfy
Won't you let Me make you My bride
You will drink of My lips
And you'll taste new life

it has so much deep meaning that i could not grasp at first...
i tried to look at it on the surface level first and when i analyzed it
it meant that like a mistress, we look around and is not loyal but the line that got me most was actually, "Won't you let Me make you My bride"
if i'm the bride, i would be like
"are you really sure? i've chased so many lovers before? are You sure You want me?"
and the part that went
"You will drink of My lips and taste new life"
that part is super intimate...
i mean, would you ever drink for people's lips????
it's only at that level of intimacy that we could drink from His lips and this part, it's not that we're there already but He wants us, He longs to be intimate with us...
an intimate kiss is only shared by two parties who longed for each other

and a thought came to mind as well...
how if or what if, when God calls His bride, He's not just calling His church, He's calling you, personally....yes, you!

God WANTS to be intimate with you.
He LONGS for you...
Will you let Him make you His bride?
