Song of Songs 2:4
"His banner over me is love"
and so to sit and ponder this thought--
The warmth of the sun is on my back
and still my eyes squint from its strength
I've found this love that covers all my sin
and I seem to be swimming
in an ocean of beauty
Like a bird, bathing itself in a puddle
after a fresh rainfall
Or like walking through a parking lot
reading a lovely book
getting lost in it all
I rejoice in simple things
Yet I am fearfully and wonderfully made
How sweet a thought it is
How lovely a burden, and how fitting
for a young man to bear the Lord's yoke
To sit quietly and wait for the day of the Lord's salvation
and his banner over me is love
