Rise Up, Come Away with Me
Maybe it is a result of dedicating this month to meditating on verses related to God's love for us and the condition of our hearts as believers, but morning after morning I have awakened to God saying,
"Rise up and come away with me." My first thought was maybe I was going to head to heaven that day. but I am still here.
Knowing that was from the Song of Solomon, I decided to delve into those pages of scripture.
"Love ever gives, forties, outlives…and ever stands with open hands."
John Oxenham
If the Song of Solomon doesn't like your fire, with the way God loves us, nothing will!
Come, dear lover-
let's tramp through the countryside.
Let's sleep at some wayside inn, then rise early and listen to bird-song.
Let's look for wildflowers in bloom, blackberry bushes blossoming white,
Fruit trees festooned with cascading flowers.
And there I'll give myself to you, my love to your love!
