Reflections: Song of Solomon 1:2

Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your name is ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.

-----------------------------------

The fragrance of your ointment is good.
It’s soothing medicine to my soul.
It causes hope to rise up inside of me.
I breathe deeply, I take in
The sweetness of your ointment
As I soak in the glory that surrounds you.
I breathe your name
And I fall upon my face before you;
As I praise your name it spills over me.
Precious ointment pours over me.
Let your fragrance soak into my skin,
Let it cover me.
You name is like fragrance spilling over
It fills the room with beauty
And it lavishes itself
Upon everyone in the room
It overwhelms me.
You overwhelm me.
You are amazing God,
You are so amazing.
Awesome, Holy, Powerful.
You desire to consume me in your love.
Your powerful fragrance overcomes me.
It crashes over me,
Soaking me in your love for me.
I desire to be marinated
Marinated in this beautiful fragrance.
I desire to linger inside of it,
To drink deeply
Of the power of your presence.
You are Holy,
You are Awesome.
You are Powerful.
Righteous God I kneel before you.
I kneel before you in reverent fear,
Fear of your beauty,
And fear of your power.
Even your name,
When spoken on my lips
Smells of sweet perfume.
It makes my breath sweet
And humbles my tongue.
It causes me to tremble in desire of you.
Holy God receive me.
Take me up, hold me.
Grasp me to your chest
Fill my senses with the fragrance of you.
Fill my nose with the sweet smell
Of the incense of your presence.
Let me breathe deeply of your fragrance,
Let me breathe it in.
Until I can take it no longer.
Make me despise the air
And desire instead to breath you in.
To fill my lungs with your fragrance,
To live continually in your presence.
