Today, I was listening to a song the Lord gave me called, “My Queen.” The words are below. I was thinking about the fact that the Lord is in love with us, His Bride, and wants to be loved by us as well. As I thought about this, my mind turned to how flawed I can be, and how undesirable people can be. I wondered: Why do you want our love, Lord? He led me to think about my family, friends, pets, those I love. Why do you desire them? He seemed to ask. I realized I want to be loved by those close to me because I love them. That’s pretty basic. When we love someone, we want them to love us too. Could it be that simple for God? I believe so. He wants to be loved by us simply because He loves us. And we know that we love Him only because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
My Queen
My radiant bride, for whom I died,
my lily among thorns, with holy beauty adorned
(SOS 2:2, 7:6)
You are my Queen.
Garden of honey and spice, apple of my eye,
your love is better than wine, turn your eyes from mine
(SOS 5:1; Zech. 2:7, 8; SOS 4:10; SOS 6:5)
They overwhelm me ‘cause you are my Queen.
Many maidens there may be but you, my love, are unique (SOS 6:8, 9).
Only you stand by me. Only you make me complete (Eph. 1:23).
You are my Queen.
Got something to say? Go for it!
