Divine Whispers | A Canonical Bridal Song | Viju Jeremiah Traven
BRIDEGROOM:
Verse 1
I kissed the ember on your lips (Song of Songs 1:2; Leviticus 6:13)
Before the world was born; (Jeremiah 1:5; Ephesians 1:4)
The flame that lit the nations’ eyes (Acts 2:3; Isaiah 60:1)
Now flickers, dim and worn. (Revelation 2:4; Revelation 3:1)
I touch the altar, cold with loss, (Leviticus 6:12–13; Revelation 2:4)
Where once My glory shone; (1 Samuel 4:21; Exodus 40:34)
The lampstand stands in a hollow dark — (Revelation 2:5; Matthew 25:8)
My Bride, why have you flown? (Revelation 2:4; Song of Songs 5:6)
Verse 2
Not in one thunder did it die, (Leviticus 6:13; Revelation 2:4)
But breath by breath, unseen; (Ezekiel 10:18–19; 1 Samuel 4:21)
The form of godliness remained (2 Timothy 3:5; Isaiah 29:13)
But the power vanished pristine. (2 Timothy 3:5; Ezekiel 10:18–19)
You sang your songs with skillful tongue (Amos 5:21–23; Psalm 33:3)
Yet sought not My face; (Revelation 2:4; Hosea 6:6)
A borrowed robe of outward things (Isaiah 64:6; Matthew 22:11–12)
In the altar’s cold place. (1 Samuel 4:21; Revelation 2:4–5)
PRE-CHORUS:
You crowned control and called it wise (Proverbs 12:15; Isaiah 5:21)
And buried grace before My eyes; (Matthew 23:23; Galatians 5:4)
Ichabod — My glory has departed, (1 Samuel 4:21; Ezekiel 10:18)
The cold ceremony left the souls brokenhearted. (Isaiah 61:1; Psalm 34:18)
The Body bled in silence through the years; (1 Corinthians 12:26; Galatians 5:15)
The fivefold trumpets lay abandoned in tears; (Ephesians 4: 11-13; 1 Kings 19:18)
What you called disloyalty was light; (Proverbs 27:6; John 3:20–21)
What you nailed as order was the blight. (Luke 11:52; 2 Timothy 4:4)
CHORUS:
Those who will not burn will never learn (2 Timothy 3:5; Colossians 1:27)
To daily die to rise with Me (1 Corinthians 15:31; Luke 9:23; Romans 6:6)
Catch the Fire, My Bride, re-catch the Fire — (Leviticus 6:12–13; Matthew 3:11)
Return and burn for Me! (Song of Solomon 8:6; Jeremiah 24:7)
I died to kiss the Bride at the Wedding of the Lamb Who reigns; (Song of Songs 1:2; Revelation 19:7)
My Cross proclaims you Mine — draw near; My Blood still remains. (James 4:8; Hebrews 12:24)
Verse 3
But the coal was never fully cold; (Isaiah 1:9; 1 Kings 19:18)
Above each ruin I have sworn: (Isaiah 54:9–10; Jeremiah 29:11)
My mercy kept the remnant breathing (Romans 11:5; Lamentations 3:22)
They are renewed every morning. (Lamentations 3:23; Exodus 16:21)
They would not kneel where cold replaced the fire (Romans 11:4; 1 Kings 19:18)
Nor flee the Cross for a pleasure higher; (Philippians 3:10; Hebrews 12:2)
Their scars became the ground I claimed (Romans 12:1; Hebrews 12:29)
My brandmarks upon their living sacrifice stood ablaze. (Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 6:17)
Verse 4
Unquenchable love would not die through storm or flood; (Isaiah 43:2; Romans 12:11)
No waters drowned what God Himself had burned; (Ephesians 1:13; Isaiah 43:2; Song of Solomon 8:7)
Their wounds became the altars where I poured (Hebrews 12:29; Philippians 3:10)
Through every winter, unconcealed. (Zechariah 13:9; Song of Songs 2:11)
Cold endured becomes gold refined in fire; (1 Peter 1:7; Job 23:10)
What Heaven blazes no rivers will claim: (John 10:28–29; Romans 8:38–39)
This is no ember of a passing season; (Isaiah 9:7; Joel 2:28–29)
This is the Holy invasion’s flame. (Acts 1:8; Hebrews 12:29)
BRIDGE:
I am jealous, not as proud rulers burn, (2 Corinthians 11:2; Exodus 34:14)
But as love that stood in Gethsemene and would never turn; (Matthew 26:36–46; John 13:1)
Every lesser love, when tested, unveils its own blame; (John 15:13; 1 John 3:16)
I stood where love costs all, chose yours, and bore the flame. (Isaiah 53:4–5; Galatians 2:20)
My Blood was not shed for your striving, fervor, or your strife (Hosea 6:6; Micah 6:6–8)
I poured it all to make you Mine, to give you My endless life. (1 Peter 1:18–19; John 10:10)
I paid the penalty for sin and drew you into grace; (Song of Songs 2:16; Ephesians 2:13)
Not by your hands or altar-fire, but by My torn embrace. (Hosea 6:6; Psalm 51:16–17)
I bled to name you Bride, not slave, redeemed by covenant love, (John 15:15; 1 Corinthians 6:20)
That you might dance before My eyes and mirror Heaven above (John 17:24; Song of Songs 1:15)
Verse 5
Arise, My love, and come away, (Song of Songs 2:10; Isaiah 52:1)
The cold winter is past; (Song of Songs 2:11; Isaiah 44:22)
I stand at the door, eyes of flame, (Revelation 1:14; Revelation 3:20)
And call you home at last. (Isaiah 43:1; John 10:3)
Return to Me; the altar waits; (Joel 2:12; Malachi 3:7)
I hold no count above; (Romans 4:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19)
Each step you take toward My face: (James 4:8; Revelation 22:4)
I run to you in amazing grace. (Luke 15:20; Zephaniah 3:17)
Verse 6
I did not build you for the ruin; (Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:9)
I built you for My name. (Isaiah 43:7; Ephesians 2:10)
The Bride I come for shall not be found (Revelation 19:7; Matthew 25:10)
Weeping before the cold flame. (Revelation 2:4–5; Matthew 25:8)
She rises from the ruin burning, (Isaiah 60:1; Revelation 19:7)
Her garments were white with love — (Revelation 19:8; Revelation 7:14)
Not white with innocence alone, (Revelation 19:8; Zechariah 3:4)
But sealed by grace above. (Ephesians 1:13–14; 2 Corinthians 1:22)
FINAL CHORUS:
Those who will not burn will never learn (2 Timothy 3:5; Colossians 1:27)
To daily die to rise with Me (1 Corinthians 15:31; Luke 9:23; Romans 6:6)
Catch the Fire, My Bride, re-catch the Fire (Leviticus 6:12–13; Matthew 3:11)
Return and burn for Me! (Song of Solomon 8:6; Jeremiah 24:7)
I died to kiss the Bride at the Wedding of the Lamb Who reigns; (Song of Songs 1:2; Revelation 19:7)

Verse 7
Then I will rise, lay my winter down; (Isaiah 60:1; Song of Songs 2:11)
I come not clothed in pride (Philippians 3:9; Isaiah 64:6)
I come as Yours with open, trembling hands; (Romans 12:1; Isaiah 6:5)
Make me Your burning, radiant Bride. (Ephesians 5:27; Revelation 19:7–8)
Rekindle what I quenched in fear; (2 Timothy 1:6–7; 1 Thessalonians 5:19)
Let every scar may turn gold; (2 Corinthians 12:9; Malachi 3:2–3)
Your altar-stone, Your dwelling place; (Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 3:16)
Burn me spotless, warm the cold. (Malachi 3:2–3; Revelation 19:7)
Verse 8
Worthy are You; I bow as the Bride to reign (Revelation 4:11; Song of Songs 8:6–7)
Only at Your behest; (Song of Songs 2:10; Revelation 22:17)
Not distracted by my service, but in rest; (Luke 10:40-42; Hosea 6:6; 1 Corinthians 13:3)
I lay upon Your breast. (John 13:23; Psalm 91:1)
I arise and make myself now ready, (Revelation 19:7; Matthew 25:10)
I obey without delay; (Revelation 22:17; Matthew 25:1–10)
The Bride who hears Your voice will not be found (John 10:27; Revelation 22:17)
A moment turned away to cry. (Song of Songs 3:4; Revelation 22:17)
