My Beloved

Roy Resh

Come away my beloved, my beautiful dove, my choice.

            I pine for your affection; come to me.

Give your heart to me, Oh hear my soft voice.

Remember the great price I paid for thee.

Jealousy burns when you seek another.

            To seek me out or to speak in your stead.

Am I not sufficient? Where’s your mother?

            She promised to keep bad thoughts from your head.

My heart overflows with such grace and savor.

            Speak softly my love, Oh, where have you been!

I’ll shower you with wonderful favor.

Blessings that you can never imagine.

I want you, your whole being. My loving heart

            Aches for your presence, for your sweet fragrance.

Hear my voice, sing a song of love to me.

            Let’s laugh and sing together, have a dance.

You bring joy to me, such peace, such rapture,

            I’m happy and fulfilled when you come near.

I am waiting for you, you can be sure.

            To take you to my home, so have no fear.

More can’t I offer than rapt attention,

Of a King who owns all, loves mightily,

And shares everything with you. My intention

Is clear. Do you want to marry me?

Your Loving Suitor
