More Than Wine (Song of Songs One) Lyrics

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth

For your love is sweeter like the finest wine poured out

The fragrance of your name lingers in the air

A perfume so divine beyond compare

Take me away oh let us hurry now

To chambers of delight where love makes its vow

We'll rejoice we'll sing and lift your name on high

For your love my king no heart can deny

More than wine your love is pure

A joy that heals a bond secure

Pleasing fragrance tender grace

No wonder hearts long for your embrace

Dark am I yet lovely daughters hear my plea

Like Kedar's tents like curtains rich with mystery

The sun has kissed my skin my toil has left its mark

But love shines through the shadows even in the dark

Don't stare at me for I've labored long

Tending to the vineyards where I don't belong

Yet my heart cries out to the one I adore

Where do you graze your flock? I yearn for more

More than wine your love is pure

A joy that heals a bond secure

Pleasing fragrance tender grace

No wonder hearts long for your embrace

Take me where your sheep find rest at midday

Where peace and love chase the shadows away

Why should I wander veiled and unseen

When you my beloved make my soul serene?

More than wine your love is pure

A joy that heals a bond secure

Pleasing fragrance tender grace

No wonder hearts long for your embrace

How right they are to adore your name

Your love forever will remain

Take me away oh let us hurry now

To chambers of delight where love makes its vow
