 1 

The Bible is the Word of God,

Its message is but one —

Christ and the church, His holy Bride,

The two becoming one.

 

Oh, what a miracle that we could be His Bride!

Oh, what a miracle! All else we lay aside

That we may now prepare to meet Him in the air

And ever in our Bridegroom's love abide.

 
 2 

The Father is the mighty God,

His purpose is but one —

To find a Bride for Christ the Lord

And give her to His Son.

 

Oh, what a miracle that we could be His Bride!

Oh, what a miracle! All else we lay aside

That we may now prepare to meet Him in the air

And ever in our Bridegroom's love abide.

 
 3 

The Son is Jesus Christ the Lord,

His heart desire's but one —

To have a loving counterpart,

A Bride He's wooed and won.

 

Oh, what a miracle that we could be His Bride!

Oh, what a miracle! All else we lay aside

That we may now prepare to meet Him in the air

And ever in our Bridegroom's love abide.

 
 4 

The Spirit is but Christ Himself,

He is the Lord applied

To generate the men of earth,

Transform them as His Bride.

 

Oh, what a miracle that we could be His Bride!

Oh, what a miracle! All else we lay aside

That we may now prepare to meet Him in the air

And ever in our Bridegroom's love abide.

 
 5 

The living Word is Jesus too,

God-breathed as life to us,

That we be wholly sanctified,

A Bride all-glorious.

 

Oh, what a miracle that we could be His Bride!

Oh, what a miracle! All else we lay aside

That we may now prepare to meet Him in the air

And ever in our Bridegroom's love abide.
