1 Solomon’s Song of Songs.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
We rejoice and delight in you;
we will praise your love more than wine.
How right they are to adore you!
Lord, Yours is the greatest Love Story ever written, the greatest Love Song of the ages; it is the Song of all songs.
Father, let Your Son kiss my heart with revelation from Your Word. Speak to my heart again, Your servant is listening. Open my eyes that I may see wonderous things from Your Law. Revive me according to Your Word. Only You have the Words of eternal life. Where else can I go? The earth has nothing for me (Psalm 73:25). Truly Your love is better than wine; it is more exhilerating than all the pleasures of this temporal existence.
Jesus, Your name is like a fragrant perfume. You did not love Your life even unto death but poured it out as a fragrant offering, becoming the perfect sacrifice. You paid the highest price so that I could be forgiven. I am ruined for any lesser goal than knowing You. No wonder Your people love You!
My King, bring me into Your chamber. Unlock my soul in a way I’ve never known. Take me to the place that I never want to leave, where it’s You and me alone, God. This is the One Thing I desire – to gaze upon Your beauty all the days of my life (Psalm 27:4).
I will praise Your love more than wine as I drink from Your river of eternal pleasure. I will be satisfied from above by the One in whom is all my delight!
Beloved, how right we are to adore You!
