My Beloved is mine—and I am His!',
Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit
"My Beloved is mine—and I am His!" Song of Solomon 2:16
"My Beloved is mine!" He is . . .
the Saviour in whom I believe and trust;
the Husband whom I reverence and love;
the Lord whom I adore and obey;
the portion on which I live; and
the beloved One upon whom my heart and affections are set.
"And I am His!"
He chose me—or I had never chosen Him.
He redeemed me—or I had still been a slave.
He called me—or I had still been wandering from God.
He sanctified me—or I had still been vile and polluted.
He manifested Himself to me—or I had never seen His glory.
"I am His!"
I am His spouse.
I am His portion.
I am His delight.
I am His choice out of all worlds.
I am His glorious crown!
"My Beloved is mine—and I am His!" Song of Solomon 2:16
