| This song is a song written from Christ's perspective to the church. It's trying to incorporate some imagery out of Ezekiel about us, members of the Church, being filthy and disgusting before, but being washed by our bridegroom, namely, Christ. |
| Bride of the Wind Lyrics: Jeff King Music: Mike Werbicki I called you to my side, my love, out from the dark, blue shadows. And cleaned away, the past, the past I tore it all away. A swollen bride, for heaven, yeah, beaten, bruised, burnt by time. I bought you from the past, baby, and tore you from yourself. Bride of the Wind, breathe, breathe, Bride of the Wind, accept release. I gave you clothes just like a queen, my arms held wide in this embrace, and paid for you, I paid for you, breathe, baby, breathe, accept release. I offer you my hands, my heart, my life for you, for you. Copyright (c) 2002 Hypersongs Ltd. and Liteflame Music Ltd. Published by permission of the author. |

| This painting, The Tempest, or Bride of the Wind, by Oskar Koskokovich, isn't the inspiration for this song, but its title is. I think that the ragged look of the Bride and the swirling, confused, and tempestuous nature of the painting is a good illustration of our state before redemption. |
