Papa, how did you choose her…the bride for your Son?
Why was she so lucky? Why was she your chosen one?
Jesus you bought her. You bled and you died
In love you redeemed her with the blood that flowed from your side
While Adam was sleeping in his paradise slumber
His loneliness answered, waking up in awestruck wonder
The rib was the ransom, no one needed to die
You reached into him formed her from his side
So draw her from my side, so she fits me just right
Draw her from my side,
Would you reach into the deepest part of me and form the love of my life
Well, Father you're changeless, and your patterns the same
With Adam in the Garden, and Jesus on the cross again
I feel the deep sleep coming on
I'm closing my eyes
So reach into my ribcage, put your hand on my heart
So do what you do, what you do, what you do, what you've done from the start
Draw her from my side, so she fits me just right
Would you draw her from my side?
Would you reach into the deepest part of me and form the love of my life?
Like Eve for Adam, the church for Jesus, create her for me tonight
