Song

I Am My Beloved's and My Beloved Is Mine

LoveBelongingIdentityAssurance

A tender duet built straight from the Song of Solomon — tracing covenant love from its first invitation through eager pursuit, rest, public belonging, flood-proof endurance, and a seal set upon the heart, resolving in the simple, settled truth that closes the book: I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.

"I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies."
Song of Solomon 6:3

A song for the road you're on.

[Intro]
(fingerpicked guitar, soft pedal steel swell)

[Verse 1 — Him]
The winter's gone, the rain is over
The flowers rise up from the ground
The turtledove is singing softly
And your voice is the sweetest sound
So rise up, my love, my fair one
Come away, come away with me

[Chorus — Him]
'Cause many waters cannot quench this love
And the rivers cannot drown it out
I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine
That's what this life is all about
Slow and easy, night and day
Darlin', this love won't wash away

[Verse 2 — Her]
I hear your voice across the mountains
Coming quick over hill and stone
Like an apple tree in the deep green forest
I found my rest in your shade alone
You brought me to your banquet table
And your banner over me is love

[Chorus — Both]
'Cause many waters cannot quench this love
And the rivers cannot drown it out
I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine
That's what this life is all about
Slow and easy, night and day
Darlin', this love won't wash away

[Bridge — Her]
Set me like a seal upon your heart
Like a seal upon your arm
For love is strong, as strong as death
Its flame is the flame of the Lord
And all the wealth a man could offer
Could never buy this love

[Final Chorus — Both]
No, many waters cannot quench this love
And the rivers cannot drown it out
I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine
That's what this life is all about
Slow and easy, night and day
Darlin', this love won't wash away

[Outro]
(Him) I am my beloved's...
(Her) And my beloved is mine
