One of the most beautiful love poems put to music, put to life. I love it... it brings me to tears.

There is no beautiful song written about Canticle of Canticles, my most precious and favourite book. Thanks, Matt, for granting us this gorgeous melody for a sensual, romantic book!

A beautifully expressive song about the love between Christ and the Church, and the love between two married persons. My fiance will have this sung during the Unity Candle lighting at our wedding next Friday!! It's definitely been a favorite since the first time I heard it.

Lyrics

Set me as a seal on your heart.
Set me as a seal on your soul.
For strong as death is love,
unyielding as the grave.
Nothing will quench its flame,
nothing will quench its flame.

Kiss me, my love,
that your name be on my lips.
You intoxicate my being
with the fragrance of your presence.

How beautiful you are, my darling.
Show me your face, let me hear your voice.
Sweet as the dew in the early morn,
like a lily among the thorns.

I looked for you, the one my heart loves.
I looked for you, but did not find you.
I searched through the night until I rested in your sight.
Now, I will never let you go.

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes.
Your lips so sweet, adorned with honey.
My hands, they drip with myrrh.
