Divine romance
1
How could a country girl like me
Become Your match — Your bride to be?
You’re holy and You are divine
But I’m fallen and human.
Without You, Lord, I have no chance
To be like You in this romance.
But You chose me ere the world began
Nothing could change Your plan.
This divine romance
Is My heart’s deep plan.
I became a lowly man
To court My country girl.
Nothing could deter,
Nothing can alter
My eternal love for her;
I’ll gain My country girl.
2
No man or angel ever knew
This secret hidden deep in You
That You desired to be one with man
Before the world began.
Though sin came in to ruin me
Through Satan’s scheme and subtlety
Nothing could break Your love for me
To gain me totally.
This divine romance
Is My heart’s deep plan,
I became a lowly man
To court My country girl.
Nothing could deter,
Nothing can alter
My eternal love for her;
I’ll gain My country girl.
