MY BELOVED IS LIKE A GAZELLE OR A YOUNG STAG, BEHOLD, THERE HE STANDS BEHIND OUR WALL, GAZING IN AT THE WINDOWS, LOOKING THROUGH THE LATTICE.-SONG OF SONGS. C.2.V.9
SPOUSE SONG
Jesus looking in the window
oh is He calling me?
"arise belov'd and steal away
the winter is gone you can see."
+
Fair flow'rs in the earth appearing
fragrant, blossoming trees
voice of the love-dove fills the land
awakening love as it please.
+
Sustain me with raisins
refresh me with apples
for I am sick with love.
+
My Lord is like an apple tree
beneath His shade I rest
and taste the sweetness of His fruit
the while in His presence so blest.
+
My Lord has got a feasting house
a place is set for me
while o'er me His banner of love
is there for ev'ryone to see.
+
Sustain me with raisins
refresh me with apples
for I am sick with love.
+
Jesus looking in the window
I know He's calling me
"arise belov'd and steal away
come, join sweet fellowship with Me."
+
+
DOVE SONG
+
My Dove was stood beyond our wall
and should I leave Him there?
He bids me join Him where He is
His shame and solitude to share.
+
I was asleep with heart awaked
my Dove was at my door
He wooed with tender words of love
and I could make Him wait no more.
+
My Dove put His hand to the latch
my heart thrilled with delight
I rose to open up to Him
but He was gone into the night.
+
Sustain me with raisins
refresh me with apples
for I am sick with love
+
My heart had failed me when He spoke
I sought but found Him not
I cried out to Him in my distress
my Dove, my Lord, forsake me not.
+
Oh where is my Beloved gone
and my Dove where is He turned?
city girls talk much about love
but there's a love which cannot be learned.
+
Sustain me with raisins
refresh me with apples
for I am sick with love.
+
There is my Beloved my Dove
He's pasturing His sheep
see Him gather up His lilies
I knew my heart's pledge He would keep.
