Song of Songs 4:1-8 (JDV)

Song of Songs 4:1 How beautiful you are, my companion. How incredibly beautiful! Behind your veil, your eyes are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down Mount Gilead.
Song of Songs 4:2 Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep coming up from washing, each one bearing twins, and none has lost its young.
Song of Songs 4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet cord, and your mouth is lovely. Behind your veil, your brow is like a slice of pomegranate.
Song of Songs 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David, constructed in layers. A thousand shields are hung on it — all of them shields of warriors.
Song of Songs 4:5 Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.
Song of Songs 4:6 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.
Song of Songs 4:7 You are absolutely beautiful, my companion; there is no imperfection in you.
Song of Songs 4:8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride; come with me from Lebanon! Descend from the peak of Amana, from the summit of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.

She is all that he can see. Her beauty has captivated his heart. There is no flaw in her. After seeing her, his desire for anything or anyone else disappears. She’s the one. And she feels the same way! Praise the LORD for the gift of marital love.

LORD, we celebrate the love of a bride and groom. Thank you for this gift.
