Christ will make His seeking lover
- Christ will make His seeking lover
Pillar, couch, and palanquin,
E'en a crown, His boast and glory;
He will do it all! Amen! - His beloved—how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
- But there still remains a shadow;
Christ is still not satisfied.
He must have a growing garden
To become His loving Bride! - Paradise of pomegranates,
Pleasant fruits, and henna flowers,
Spikenard, saffron, myrrh, and aloes:
His enjoyment now—not ours. - He has come into His garden,
Gathered myrrh and spices there,
Eaten honeycomb and honey;
Wine and milk He'll drink fore'er. - From the garden comes the city,
All materials thus supplied;
God is satisfied completely,
And the foe is terrified. - "Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah,
Comely as Jerusalem."
O Lord Jesus, Hallelujah,
Thou wilt do it all! Amen!

Jan. 4, 2012Frank PytelChicago, Illinois, United StatesThe love of my Beloved is changing me to be what is satisfying to Him! As the two were going away down the road of Emmaus, the love of the veiled Beloved burned in their hearts to change their direction, attitude, even discouragement into joy. May I say "Amen" to every kiss of His mouth until "as He is, so am I in this world" (1 John 4:17b).
