The Word of the Lord came one evening   Concerning His bride's great sin   He'd send down His Word to renew her   To prepare for the Bridegroom again   The Word said repent   From seeking vain glories   While the gifts in the Lord's name you give   Repent of all the first stones cast to kill   While your own self-righteousness lives      Prepare ye the way for the Lord   Prepare ye the way for the kingdom   Prepare ye the way   Prepare ye the way for the Lord      The Word said repent and turn from your strivings   Repent and turn from your hatred   Repent from the doctrines of men that divide   And fear like the wedding gown ripped      Walk in His love like newborn children   Walk in His love, let the wedding gown mend   Walk in His love, with humility come with pure hearts   And cast all your cares to the wind      The Word of the Lord came one evening   Concerning His bride's sin   He assured me we will be forgiven   And then let the marriages begin
