HEALING

Into my life One has come,
To heal my broken heart.
To cleanse my unattended wounds,
That I might make a new start.

He comes with anointed oil aplenty,
And pours it freely to soothe my pain.
He gently mends the broken strands,
And removes each ugly stain.

His love overflows and embraces me,
As I yield to His gentle touch.
He is restoring me to His likeness,
And I begin to see it as such.

As He ministers to me and sings to me,
My cold heart is warmed anew.
As I look at the present with open eyes,
I see the future in panoramic view.

I see myself standing, giving thanks to the One,
Who so graciously gave me life.
I see a crowd of worshipers, unrestrained,
No longer controlled by strife.

United we stand before our Lord,
Garments unwrinkled, not one blemish seen.
In celebration of the great victory,
Of our Holy and Risen King.

We dance and we sing the Song of the Lamb,
Before the Ancient of Days.
For He is our Kinsman Redeemer,
The Life, the Truth, and the Way.

The shofars sound, and the strings are plucked,
Our voices are raised as one.
As the saints of old, and the angelic host,
Join in as we worship the Son.

Song of Songs Chapter 3

Lord, I searched for love outside the walls of the city
And I was entrapped by the enemy.
As the enemy sought to bind my mind, my emotions,
The watchmen raised a cry on my behalf.

The battle has ranged for over a year now Lord,
And Your watchmen have been faithful
To intercede on my behalf.

You have won the fight, O Lord,
And I have been drawn to You.
I have been drawn by Your fragrance of incense and myrrh,
I have been comforted by Your cloud by day,
And Your fire by night.
I am protected by the warriors
Who stand by my every side.

You have patiently waited for me
As I have searched in old places.
Wandered down the pathway of old memories,
I have tried to find You in yesterday's experiences.

Your watchmen, O Lord, set my feet in a new direction
And I have found the One whom I sought.
My heart rejoices, my heart rejoices,
For I have found True Love,
You are my sole passion.
My Bridegroom, I am honored to be Your Bride.

Song of Songs Chapter 5

With boldness and confidence I approach Your throne
Holy and blameless for I am Your own
To kneel in humility and glorify my King
This is the song that my heart longs to sing...

My lover is radiant, outstanding among ten thousand
His head is purest gold, His nature divine
With eyes like the doves, He teaches me the Word
Precious and costly, I have observed
That His presence is healing, my life He has preserved
As He has embraced me and washed me in His Word.

He is altogether lovely, He is fragrant and pure
In the splendor of His Majesty, one thing I am sure
This is my lover, this is my friend
O daughters of Jerusalem!
