Christ Loves His Beloved

This is story of two lovers
for no other they have any sight
for their love is always truly set
for their love gives a real bite

They go to the great banquet
where the banner over them is love
nothing else can ever compare
till when they reach heaven above

This bride appears like the dawn
majestic as all the stars in the sky
having a brightness all of it's own
makes one ponder with a sigh

The bridegroom loves his lover
desiring for her in love alone
taking his desire to the countryside
where time flies by instantly flown

Come away the two shall go
together equally as a gazelle
such love pure as the winter snow
locked together in their hidden shell

( based on Song of Solomon)
