Beautiful Bride Lyrics

Cover art for Beautiful Bride lyrics by Flyleaf

I honestly thought this song had the same general meaning, then I looked closer at the meanings, Beautiful bride? Why not Handsome groom? Or if this song is about Jesus/Christ why not Jesus? The song is probably about a sinning bride, and she is having a fight with the groom and she thinks of Jesus, and "Fighting ends in forgivness' is what she figures out, and thinks of how he gave his life and how they should basically stay together, Yada yada. Im not christian, nor do I believe in God, but I believe there was a man named jesus, and I have read the bible, as well as the books regarding other religons, and Thats what I got from this song.

Ps. To flyleaf: My favorite album yet! dont wait so long for the next!

Song Meaning

The Church can be referred to as the bride.

Jesus came down from heaven to be with the church (when he became incarnate.) He married the church and that is why the people are called His bride. Through marriage the groom (Jesus) and the bride (Church) are together both body and soul. Jesus continues to be with us through Consecration - when the bread and wine is transfigured into the body and blood of Jesus.

I hope that makes sense ehehehehehe.

oh yeah..

The Church is also commonly referred to as the "Body of Christ". The church is not a building but it is a community of people staying "strong and unified"

I'm guessing (but i could be wrong) this song is about the bride fighting against all of the evil in this world.

maya, you're a bit off. in the analogy the groom, jesus, has yet to come and marry the bride. in biblical times there was a betrothal period during which the bride and groom were separated until the wedding. likewise, the bride of christ is separate from her groom during the church age, which is now. the church will be united with christ in the second coming, the official "wedding" will happen and then the eternal union of christ and his bride will be actualised (revelation 19:7-9; 21:1-2)
