my jealous love

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. 

Song of Solomon 8:6


You are mine

a seal set upon you

a covenant love

exclusive rights to each other

my heart for you

in binding from above


My life is yours

to share as long as we live

together in the path

of life walking beside

One leads us Who gives

a greater love


And a flame burns

fills hearts, home, and bed

with a love only

we two will always share

a joining of body, heart, and head

unity from the Triune


As unrelenting as death

I cling to you

you to me agreed

we flash a holy, jealous flame

passion guards us holy and true

living in God's way and name
