Song Of Solomon

Song Of Solomon

This song is the result of a painstaking effort to find the real meaning of the words in the Bible by comparing two translations and distilling them into modern English terms without leaving the “first person” mode.

Song Of Solomon  (The Oratorio) (Will add verses as time permits)

[Chapter 1]
[Verse 1]
(Woman) Please kiss me with your whole heart.
(Woman) Your love is better than fine wine!
(Woman) Your name is richer than perfume!
(Woman) Your words are sweeter than honey!
(Woman) I’m blissful to drown in your words!
(Woman) Fulfilled in the way I am loved!

[Verse 2]
(Woman) I want to run away with you!
(Woman) Let’s elope My King and Lover!
(Woman) You treat my friends like family!
(Woman) You make Your house feel like my home!
(Woman) We will always remember this!
(Woman) All of the pure people love you!

[Verse 3]
(Woman) I’m alluring and too lively!
(Woman) I help my own tend the vineyard!
(Woman) We keep the vineyards nice and ripe.
(Woman) And that leaves no time for myself.
(Woman) I’m not worthy of Your great love!
(Woman) All that I have belongs to You!

[Verse 4]
(Woman) Love, where do you linger for lunch?
(Woman) Where do you take your flock to rest?
(Woman) Why should I miss your tender care?
(Man) If you can’t find me, my lovely,
(Man) Please stay with and care for your flocks.
(Man) Just rest with your shepherd neighbors.

[Verse 5]
(Man) Your beauty’s beyond my wild dreams!
(Man) Your loveliness is like satin!
(Man) Your teeth are jewels on your cheeks!
(Man) Your sweet neck deserves laces of gold!
(Man) We’ll make you the best jewelry!
(Man) Your clothing will shine with silver!

[Chorus A]
(Woman) Will He discover my perfume?
(Woman) My well-beloved Righteous King,
(Woman) His character has changed my heart!
[Chorus B]
(Man) Your beauty is stunning, my love!
(Man) You have loving eyes like a dove!
(Man) Our bed is grass and our roof trees!

[Chapter 2]
[Verse 1]
(Woman) I’m just a common wildflower.
(Woman) A blossom from the valley thorns.
(Woman) I’m nothing special to ponder.
(Man) A white flower among the weeds!
(Man) My one only Bride among all!
(Man) Why can’t she see her real beauty?

[Verse 2]
(Woman) An apple tree in the glen.
(Woman) So is my love among all men!
(Woman) He protects me, makes me worthy.
(Woman) He took me to a festive meal,
(Woman) But his eyes feasted upon me!
(Woman) His banner over me is love!

[Verse 3]
(Woman) Feed me fast, oh Jerusalem!
(Woman) Apricots, raisins, anything!
(Woman) I am about to faint with love!
(Woman) His left hand cradles my head, and
(Woman) His right arm is embracing me!
(Woman) Don’t awaken this love until ready!

[Verse 4]
(Woman) Look! Listen! There’s my lover now!
(Woman) Do you see Him quickly coming?
(Woman) Jumping across mountains and hills?
(Woman) My lover is like a crowned hart!
(Woman) Like a young strong stag, he watches!
(Woman) My love is here, he comforts me!

[Verse 5]
(Man) Draw close, my dearest companion!
(Man) In sweet and divine reunion!
(Man) Come away and refuge in me!
(Man) Winter is past and rain is gone!
(Man) Spring is awakening our soul.
(Man) Turtle doves are cooing our song!

[Chorus]


[Chapter 3]
[Verse 1]


[Double Chorus For Chapter 8]
(Woman) Seal my heart forever my love.
(Woman) Let me belong to you alone!
(Woman) Please wear my locket near your heart.
(Woman) For my love is stronger than death!
(Woman) I’d rather die than betray You!
(Woman) Your love is my refining fire!

[Double Chorus For Chapter 8]
(Man) Who is back out of the desert?
(Man) Who leans on her beloved Man?
(Man) I raised you up under fruit trees.
(Man) That’s where My Spirit gave you birth!
(Man) How can I forget that affair?
(Man) I can’t forget your innocence!

[Ending]
(Both) And wear my ring on your finger!

At the end of this song, the phrase “And wear my ring on your finger” is sung by both the man and the woman. This is because the ring represents the keeping of the Bible Sabbath (Saturday) holy! Jesus Christ created this ring, so it really belongs to Him. But the bride also calls it “her ring” because she has adopted the Sabbath as her very own ring!

"27 And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."

Mark 2:27, 28  KJV

"20 And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God."

Ezekiel 20:20  KJV

A wedding ring is a “sign” that you are married! So, keeping the Sabbath day holy IS wearing your wedding ring for your Husband, Jesus Christ! This should be very obvious to all!
