Song of Solomon, Chapter 4, Verse 2
A New Creation
Song of Solomon 4:2
“Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
and not one among them has lost its young.”
Interpretive Poem
A new creation is the bride of Christ.
Immersed and raised anew.
Her mouth is washed and purified,
To speak of love… on truth to chew.
Like a flock of ewes, we’re now to speak
The love of Christ, the shedding of His blood…
The freedom we can have because –
Our burdensome coat of sin is shorn.
Oh, that our Bridegroom has promised twins!
That our words can bring salvation to others!
That a mouth fully cleansed,
Will speak Words not lost upon the young.
