Lovers of Christ

Lovers of Christ in His ascension—

Enjoy the riches of His life.

She becomes His private garden

With its fountain

fruit

and spice.

Christ is hers and she is Christ’s dear love.

She is as beautiful as Tirzah

As lovely as Jerusalem.

Through her living in Christ’s ascension

Her dear heart is now His home.

She’s become the sanctuary of God.

Who is this woman I am seeing?

Shining forth as the moon and sun.

She is absolutely heavenly

From the old creation free;

Overcoming all to live within the veil.

An army terrible with banners

Christ’s lovers overcome to be.

Those attracted by His beauty

Fully trusting in His power.

Her romance is now the dances of two camps.

The Shulammite

His duplication

His counterpart has now become.

She’s the same in life and nature

His expression to the full;

Consummated as the New Jerusalem.
