I updated my playlist to include a Kisses of Your Mouth by Heather Clark. Feel free to click on it at the bottom of my blogspot and listen. Just hearing this song stirs something in my soul! I awakened hearing the lyrics of this song in my heart this morning.
I feel sorry for men, because I think it is difficult for them to consider themselves part of the “bride” of Christ. Oh, but for us women — we can certainly put ourselves in Song of Solomon — seeing ourselves running after our Lover.
Heather Clark used Song of Solomon 1:2-6 (below) to inspire this song:
1 Solomon’s Song of Songs.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
We rejoice and delight in you;
we will praise your love more than wine.
How right they are to adore you!
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
I attempted to record the lyrics while listening to the song. They are so beautiful. I love worship artists like Heather. People can’t take you where they haven’t been — and it is OBVIOUS that Heather goes to intimate places with our Lord. Hallelujah!
Enjoy as your run after your Lover today! He WILL let you meet Him in the garden!
take me away with You
take me away with You
Kiss me with the kisses of Your mouth
No wonder the maidens love You.
Take me away with You! Take me away with You! Take me away with You! We rejoice and delight …
I never considered that men would have a hard time viewing themselves as part of the bride of Christ. But you are right.
Beautiful song.
Nice song!
Oh Beth,
I am sitting here after hearing that song with a lump in my throat feeling lovesick! Her voice carried it so well.
I can see how you can wake up with this song being in your head! Just lovely…I loved it!
Hugs to you today, my friend as you are running to your lover, Jesus!
That is a beautiful song Beth! Thanks for sharing! I hope you have a blessed day!
Bridal Intimacy! This is the season of the Bride and the Groom! Only out of that Intimacy with Him are we able to face what’s ahead of us.
Beth, thank you for posting both, the song and your toughts. This the subject of my heart’s passion!
Beth, what a great song! and I guess I have never thought about how we women connect with bride of Christ in a way that men do not. Cool post.
I laughed at your comment over at my post today. I am so glad that “my own obituary” grabbed your attention. ha ha.
I appreciate your kind comments and your faithfulness to visit my page.
God bless, Laurie
You are so right about men not being able to really relate to being the bride of Christ. I never thought extensively about that. We do have a sweet privelege. Maybe that will help us women be an even better bride to the human husband when we reflect of being the bride of the King.
For your lyrics, there are many places on line. I haven’t searched for lyrics for a long time. I use to search them all the time for my beloved so he could play guitar to them.

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us…I had never heard that song before now.
Blessings…
Beth
I have never heard that song before, but beautiful.
Beth, my husband and I love to leave each other love notes that include portions of Song of Songs. God has provided us with some of the best romantic writings we could ever hope for!
I love the song you included in your post. Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful message of worship Beth.
Yes, many men do have that difficulty but the comfort comes with true surrender and as they become more deeply aware of the LORD’s love and presence in their lives.
Love you.
