someone to love

God wants someone to love Him,
Not just someone to serve Him;
He wants someone to love Him
As His bride.
God wants someone to match Him,
Not just to imitate Him;
He wants a counterpart,
One from His side. For this He came down to us,
He came to court, to woo us,
Away from everything, and unto Him.
Now we’re espoused unto Him,
Pledged and betrothed unto Him;
Yes, we are bound unto Him by His love.
