The King Desires My Beauty

 I would like to share a reflection on Ephesians 6:29-32 and Psalm 45, particularly verses 10-11:

Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
    forget your people and your father's house,
and the king will desire your beauty.

 

Echoes from a former life

Whisper to my soul

Please come in, darling

I’m an angel of light

Welcome to my home

I’m your father

How could you walk out on me?

Don’t flee

See what I have to offer thee

Treasures untold

Let me endow you with gifts

Everything this world can offer

You can have it all my dear

At least, linger, just a little while

Let’s reminisce of good old days

 

The King desires my beauty

His craftmanship

How could I stay?

I belong to a heavenly country

What God has put together

No one shall put asunder

In Christ

I’m rich beyond all measure

Earthly trinkets shatter and fade

Their temporary glimmer

Poisons my soul

I have treasure in heaven untold

My Father has blessed me

His love is pure

No, I’ll not linger

Perhaps I’m weak

And cannot flee

But

He’ll carry me

He’ll carry me

 

To learn more of Christ’s love for us, please see Ephesians 2:1-10. He welcomes with open arms all who come to him and his love for us is steadfast (John 6:37, Psalm 136:1-3.)

Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!

Psalm 117:1
