SESSION 12 : Song of Songs Chapter 5:2-8 (TPT)

The Shulamite heard clearly when the Bridegroom knocked at her

heart’s door and pleaded with her to go even deeper with Him. Notice
how He approached her with a melody. The Lord was singing His song

over her, and this caused her to awaken.

What sort of song would the Lord sing over His Bride? The answer is

possibly found in Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP):

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Saviour
(who saves)! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest (in silent

satisfaction) and in His love, He will be silent and make no mention
(of past sins or even recall them); He will exult over you with

singing!”

His song is one of pure love!

Remember in verse 2, it said that He knocked on the door of her heart

and pleaded with her? This use of the word pleaded caused me to
ponder, and as I spoke with the Lord about it, I had a sense that this was

His reply:

He pleaded with her because He knew that if she refused His
forthcoming request to open up deeper, she would forfeit entering into

the fullness of her destiny—to walk in the resurrection life and
supernatural love of Christ. He knew that a refusal on her part would

mean bitter disappointment for her in the long run. As Paul wrote in
Philippians 3:7 (NIV): “But whatever were gains to me I now consider

loss for the sake of Christ.”
