You Beloved Is Ready

She has saved her whole heart for you Lord
She has kept her eyes pure for you Lord
She has waited and waited, while her hungers were raging
To taste only the love of her Lord
She has set her delight in you Lord
She has stayed all her thoughts on you Lord
She has stilled her desires, all her tossing and straying
She has put all her hope in you Lord

You have washed her for the day of her wedding
Promised yourself, by your Spirit abiding
In the earthquakes and wars, Lord, can you hear her singing
Her arms are raised high
Your beloved is ready
Your beloved is ready for you
Your beloved is ready

She has shut out the greed of her soul
Scoffs at scarcity, rotting and mold
She has given so freely, to the mean and unworthy
She's so loved that she cannot withhold
She's surrendered her fight for control
She has waived every right that she holds
She wiped out all the debts that she'd demanded from others
Cause she knew that she'd owed so much more

She has torn up her murderous laws
Her comparing and searching for flaws
But you've made her so humble, holding others so highly
That her joy has been filled to the full
She took off her pretense for you Lord
She confessed all her shame to you Lord
She came out of her hiding, to be known so profoundly
And in freedom to dance for you Lord
