Longing for the Bridegroom's Return | Church Worship Song

This song is a deeply intimate gospel love ballad inspired by Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) chapter 5, portraying Jesus as the Bridegroom and the Church / believer as His Bride. It captures the tension of spiritual longing — the moment when the Bride hesitates to respond to Christ’s call, followed by regret, pursuit, and renewed devotion. The lyrics express the ache of missing His immediate presence, the pain of delayed obedience, and the relentless desire to be reunited with Him. Even in silence and distance, the Bride discovers that Jesus never truly left; He was teaching her to stay awake, attentive, and ready. The song ends in surrender and maturity, with the Bride fully opening her heart, prepared to dwell forever with her Beloved. The tone blends romantic devotion, repentance, pursuit, and assurance, emphasizing that Christ’s love remains faithful even when we are slow to respond. 📖 Bible References Primary Inspiration Song of Songs 5:2–8 – The Bride hears her Beloved knocking, hesitates, searches for Him, and longs deeply for His return.
