Be Mine - Ezekiel 16

When you were born, you were all alone

Nobody washed you or carried you home

Nobody wrapped you in swaddling cloths

To the beasts of the field you were thrown

I saw you as I was passing by

Tiny and helpless, and ready to die

I saw you struggling in your own blood

And I couldn't just turn away

So I stopped there

And I called you

And walked to your side

And I took you

And I fed you

That you might not die

And I kept you

And I cared for you

That someday you might

Be mine, Be mine

I made you thrive like a plant in the field

The wounds of your birth were finally healed

I watched you bloom into maturity

You looked like a beautiful queen

You grew very beautiful under My care

But still I could see you were naked and bare

Again I passed by you, and then it was clear

That your time was the time of love

So I stopped there

And I called you

And walked to your side

And I spread My Wing around you

My beautiful bride

And I made with You a covenant

And from that day you were Mine

You were mine

I washed you with water, I clothed you with silk

"I fed you with food rare and fine"

You succeeded to royalty And your beauty was such

That all nations could see you were Mine

Your heart was exalted and lifted on high

You trusted your beauty, forgot you were Mine

You defiled yourself with whomever you chose

Your covenant with Me you broke

Forgetting the blood and the pain of your birth

Forgetting the One who gave you your worth

You turned to your idols of silver and gold

I watched you turn away

And I'm standing

And I'm weeping with heartbroken cries

And I'm calling

And I'm pleading

Oh, why would you die?

And I'm knocking

And I'm still hoping that someday you might be mine

I will save you

I will heal you and walk by your side

I will clothe you in a garment of brilliant white

I will come and take you home with me finally,

When you were mine

Be mine
