The twist in the Plan

Scripture Text: Song of Solomon  7:10-12     (22a, page 187)

Verses 10-12

I am my beloved’s and his desire is for me.  Come, my beloved.  Let us go out into the countryside, let us spend the night among the henna blossoms. Let us rise early to the vineyards.  Let us see if the vine has budded, its blossoms have opened, The pomegranates have bloomed.  There I will give my love to you.
