(Inspired by Song of Solomon 2:4, 2:16, 8:7)

You call me out into Your garden,
Where the lilies bloom and rivers flow.
I hear Your voice, my heart awakens,
To the love that only Heaven knows.


You whisper softly, “Rise, my beloved,”
The winter’s gone, the rain is past.
I run to You, my soul is singing,
In Your embrace I’m home at last.


Your banner over me is love,
A fire that never fades away.
Many waters cannot quench this love,
I am Yours forever, come what may.


I see Your face, my heart is burning,
Your gentle hand will lead me on.
Through every valley, I will follow,
For in Your love my soul is strong.


You call me closer, “Rise, my beloved,”
The shadows flee, the night has gone.
I rest beneath the arms of mercy, Safe in the place where I belong.


Your banner over me is love,
A fire that never fades away.
Many waters cannot quench this love,
I am Yours forever, come what may.


I am my Beloved’s, and He is mine,
Forever bound by holy design.
No storm, no shadow, no fear, no flame,
Can tear me away from Your holy name.


Your banner over me is love,
A fire that never fades away.
Many waters cannot quench this love,
I am Yours forever, come what may.
