The Father loves His Son with love that’s total, fruitful, free
The Son then loves His Father just the same
The Love that’s shared between them’s bearing fruit, unceasingly (1)
So personal, that this Love IS a Person
“Spirit” by name
*
The Bridegroom loves His Bride with love that’s total, fruitful, free
Christ draws His Bride to love Him just the same
His Love bears fruit and grants a brand new name: God’s “Son” or “Daughter”
When Blood and Water both “rebirth” and wash
One’s sin and shame
*
A husband’s call: to love his wife as Jesus loves His Bride (2)
With love that’s total, faithful, fruitful, free
Their love bears many kinds of fruit, and sometimes, if God wills
Nine months will bring the need to give their love
A brand new name (3)
