Gateway To Paradise

This Christian song is based on Song Of Songs chapter 5. We brought some New Testament revelation into the story - namely that Jesus, too, had been 'beaten by the watchmen' - to death, in fact. Since Jesus was buried with about 100 pounds of myrrh we refer to the passion of His Suffering Love as 'the scent of myrrh'. Now, He is already in an Eden Paradise in the first verse of the chapter. Joining her in her comforts is NOT his intent. He is inviting her to do what, for us, is the most intimate thing - to partake in His sufferings. So, the worst thing about her laziness, which causes Him to leave out into the night without her, is that, perhaps, she could have endured suffering hand in hand with Him. But the watchmen do, indeed, find her and beat her - which is her fellowship in HIS sufferings. But then, as we show in the graphic, the women who see her call her 'the most beautiful of women'. She gets an even stronger response from THE LOVER later on, in chapter 6. But read her poem in chapter 5 and note that she had never been so eloquent. We studied this in detail and her words in chapter 5 are a Quantum leap more eloquent than anything she had said previously.
