My beloved is mine and I am his
(Song of Songs 2:16; NIV).
1. I love you, and you love me;
Lord God, that’s all I need.
2. Whatever setbacks I must face,
And though my heart may bleed,
3. Help me to learn from what goes wrong,
And then to start anew,
4. For, come what may, you love me still,
And, Father, I love you.
No power in the sky above or in the earth below – indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39; NLT).
