Scripture Text: Song of Solomon  4:8 – 11     (22a, page 182)

Verses 8 – 11

With me from Lebanon, O bride, with me from Lebanon come.

Descend from the peak of Amana, from the peak of Senir and Hermon,

From the dens of lions and the mountains of leopards.

You have made my heart beat fast, my sister my bride.

You have made my heart beat fast with one glance of your eyes, with one strand of your necklace.  How beautiful is your lovemaking, my sister, my bride.

How much better is your lovemaking than wine and the fragrance of your perfumes than any spice.  Honey from the comb your lips drip, by bride,

Honey and milk are under your tongue.  And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

Below are some selections from other versions

Why I Am Doing This

I have information that is valuable for people who are making decisions about sex, love, romance, marriage and relationships. Admittedly, sharing on these topics is not something I have been eager to do. But it is the right thing to do, so here I go jumping in with both feet. More about us.
