The Parable

THE PARABLE (BALLADS OF THE SONG OF SOLOMON)

Well let me say it clearly
So you don't miss anything you've heard
We'll close this age for the Garden
There ain't no "end of the world"

See what happened in Eden
Was a glimpse of all to come
Word, light, life, covenant
Covering and confession

Our Mother of All Living She was promised then a
Son Who will war against the liar's seed
And triumph over all

The first man in the Garden Was a type of Him to come
From his side, a bride who died
Joined in the grave by her husband

Adam's treason was his failure And hers to buy deception
But the better Word that washes her
Will bring us to the resurrection

Don't ignore your invitation
Or despise the mysteries
He set the stage of the ages
To display manifold glory

In Egypt every firstborn Was spared when Death passed by
But the bloody Lamb is the bloody Man
Who stood in when Avraham gained a ram

The One Zipporah wouldn't know
The Bridegroom of Blood Ruth welcomed
The price Hosea paid for Gomer
What Judas Iscariot made as a traitor

Immanuel's veins are the fountain
Perfect Judge, the better Flood In His
Name you are rescued
From self-wrought destruction

Yet if you are not covered If you have not yet confessed
You've not yet known the One
Who rescues in the wilderness

For when this show crescendos
When Zion is saved from the sword
In the Greater Exodus Every eye alive will see the LORD
One day soon He'll set the feast The finest wine, the fattest meats
But to enter this Garden you must confess
The only King of Heaven, Earth, and Jerusalem

From the highways and byways
Compel them all to come Come to the wedding
The joy of the righteous One

O, come to the wedding
Come to the wedding So come to the wedding
Yeah, come to the wedding

For the Kingdom of Heaven
Is like a prodigal God
Preparing a wedding For His beloved Son

So come to the wedding
Come to the wedding
Come

Maranatha, marry us
