How The Lily Among Thorns
compares believers to lilies
and non-believers to thorns.
It's taken for granted that the
Song of Solomon is a sacred
marriage song between Christ
and his church.
THE LILY AMONG THORNS
To Mary Jeffries
Quiet fills the dark of night
So I close my eyes and dream;
Soon I'm deep in reverie
It's sensation is supreme.
Anything can stir my thoughts
Like a soft fragrant flower;
Remembered words, a melody,
A clock chiming out the hour.
Dreams are sleeping visions
Of precious moments in time;
Worthy of a king's ransom,
They're grand treasures they're all mine.
Once dreamed of a lily field
Waving at me from afar;
Soon I touched a gorgeous bloom,
I noticed it had a scar.
Then I saw a prickly crown
Like one my savior had worn;
That dream unveiled the meaning
Of the lily among thorns.
