On this Palm Sunday Pastor Jonathan Seet did speak
Into Song of Songs 1:8 to 2:6 we did more than peek
"Let Him Embrace Me" was the title of the sermon
The reason was clear by the time Pastor was done
On the fragrance of spikenard, chapter one verse twelve talked
Mary later used spikenard on Jesus' feet that so far had walked
Intimacy with others comes from praise and affirmation
That is why we worship God with a loud proclamation
In the passage, there were many references to praise
In order to remind us that there are so many ways
The rose of Sharon is ordinary like a crocus
But that was not the bridegroom's focus
In Christ, we can become lilies among the thorns
Becoming more beautiful as His presence adorns
For us, the basis for a godly relationship
Must surely start and focus on the worship
Myrrh is then mentioned in chapter one verse thirteen
A long list of its attributes from Pastor were then seen
An expensive painkiller with a smell so nice
It symbolises Christ's suffering and sacrifice
So when we feel like giving up in times of trouble
Remember His sacrifice which turned evil to rubble
In Christ, we can turn our sinful smell
Into one that is pleasant and swell
Our pain is diminished with His myrrh
Because of what He did, that is for sure
Chapter two verse six talks of the right and left hand
Each symbolises something, Pastor let us understand
The two arms and hands provide the divine embrace
Letting us gently rest looking at His loving face
The right is for things God has done of which we are aware
The left is for the unseen things, which are far from rare
Pastor then showed a video of "Footprints in the Sand"
Reminding us that we are always safe in God's hand
