Opening my eyes I see
The answer to my soul's great need
To belong, to be more than what I am
A stunning new reality
Unfolding now inside of me
I'm a part of the beauty of the bride
My belongingness
Was bought by His faithfulness
Was purchased with His blood
Chorus:
We will see Him coming
With His arms held open wide
Captivated by the hidden beauty of the bride
Sooner than we know
And all at once He will appear
And we will finally be made one
At last we'll hear the Bridegroom calling "Come"
Homeless now, I'll soon be home
Lonely now, but never alone
With a thirst to keep myself for Him
He has made his purpose clear
Choosing now to leave me here
Still I long and I wait to hear His call
My belongingness
Was bought by His faithfulness
Was purchased with His blood
The Spirit and the bride say "Come"
And let the one who hears say, "Come"
And to all who thirst, now let them come
Chorus
We will finally be made one
When we hear the Bridegroom call
Calling "Come"
