"Draw me out and we will run behind you. The king has brought me into his apartment there in the palace. I am so filled with excitement that I find myself dancing. We will remember the fire of your love more than the joy that wine brings. The upright in heart love you." Song of Solomon 1:4 Hofmann's Free Translation My heart literally cries out like the young bride of this story, “Draw me!…” In a real sense it feels like the giant yet tender hand of God’s Spirit reaching into my chest cavity and cradling my heart … …Draw me… When I lose focus these words shout from the mountain top and echo like thunder through the valley. They declare openly, in no uncertain terms, “I want to be where You are!” I don’t know what your heart says to you when it speaks; mine, on the other hand, sometimes says outrageous and extraordinary things, which, if I took the time to think about them … well, I’d probably think twice. "… Ye have not because ye ask not …” James 4:2 KJV I don’t know what it sounds like to you, but to me it sounds a like our bride is saying, “Let’s run away together to a place where no one will find us, where we can be alone, and I can have you all to myself.” “The king has brought me into his chambers.” Remember that the Song of Solomon is a picture of Christ and His church. “The king has brought me into his chambers …”

About the Book
Everyone loves a love story.
We all want to believe that we have value and that we are not alone.
We all want to know that someone loves us, and that the sun “rises and sets” on us … at least for somebody.
Such is the truth behind the Song of Solomon. It is the most tender expression of “Love Beyond Reason” to be found anywhere in the world, through any time; for any generation. This love is HOT, as love has always been intended to be.
It’s really not enough to say, “I am loved.”… I am adored by Him, and His love surpasses logic … It is ‘LOVE BEYOND REASON.”
I am captivated by the idea that the entirety of the Song of Solomon is about the mortal and the immortal forever joined in Holy passion; her for Him, and, more importantly, Him for her.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine … Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: ... Song of Solomon 1:2, 4 King James Version
