#180: Stairway to Heaven (Radical Revision)

Lyrics to “The Romance of the Ages”

 

There's a lady who's pure

Hid in God she’s secure

And she’s waiting to wed her true Bridegroom

She is young and she’s free

Peerless worth she has seen

By His Word she is sure where she came from

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

And she's wearing a white gown that’s spotless

 

There's no wrinkle no flaw

Found in Christ from before

The whole world ever came into being

 

New creation behold

Without blemish she glows

With His presence she shows forth His nature

 

 

Oooh, it makes me praise Him

Oooh, it makes me praise Him

 

She’s the pearl of great price

A dear treasure to Christ

And the Spirit is crying for marriage

 

Sterling beauty men see

By her light they’re set free

And her garments are fragrant with glory

 

 

Ooh, it makes me praise Him

Ooh, it makes me praise Him

 

When He died on that tree

Blood and water redeemed

And His side was the womb where she came from

 

And a new day will dawn

For all who stood long

And the angels will chorus with laughter

 

 

Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh

 

She is the woman God has dreamed of

Before creation

The New Jerusalem is coming

 

The Lamb is ready to escort her

To His chamber

The Spirit’s calling her to join Him

 

 

And it makes me love Him

Oh, whoa

 

Her heart is captured by His beauty

And His glory

The Bridegroom’s calling her to join Him

Dear lady, can you sense His nearness?

He’s been waiting

The Lamb is ready to appear now

 

And now the drama it unfolds

All that the prophets had foretold

There stands a lady we all know

 

Who beams with light and is extolled

And all within her turns to gold

Exquisite stone and pearl from old

When she is one with Him at last

The Bride is ready for the Lamb

She’ll be His wife upon His throne

 

And she's waiting to wed her true Bridegroom
