Hello friends,
This week as I spent some sweet moments of my sabbath alone in silence before the Lord, the lyrics to a Misty Edwards song were heavy on my heart. (This is not a really a rare occurrence; probably every day of my life I think to myself, “Oh, like the Misty song…” at least twice. That said, I truly believe that the Lord is going to raise up many musicians and singers to be End Time messengers, and Misty and others are forerunners of those who will be annointed by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the word of the Lord through song, so I think it’s a sign of the times that her songs speak to me so much.) The only part of the song I could remember kept rolling over and over in my head: “Will you marry me? Will you take my name? Will you marry me?” she sings from the perspective of the bridegroom God calling to His beloved. I felt the Holy Spirit moving on my heart and moved downstairs to my keyboard. Ephesians 5:18-19 tells us to “be filled with the Spirit…singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord,” so that’s what I did. Using my handy iRiver, I was able to record part of this spontaneous worship, complete with wrong notes and the sound of flipping Bible pages…I posted it for you to listen to hopefully encourage your hearts in the hope we have in the fact that Jesus is faithful and true in all that He does, from following through on the glorious promise to return for His bride at the end of the age, to coming in the middle of the night with a tender kiss on the heart of a small, weak girl in Kansas City.

Oh, how I love You, Jesus, faithful and true
You are coming back to marry me
On that day they’ll sing blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9)
On that day, the day of the gladness of Your heart, I will crown You with my love (Song of Solomon 3:11)
On that day I will say my Maker is my husband (Isaiah 54:5)
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so my God will rejoice over me (Isaiah 62:5)
You are coming back to marry me
Oh, how I love You, Jesus, faithful and true
