The Song of Solomon
Chapter 6
¹ Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Which way has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 1)
Oh God my Father I pray for such people who help others find the way back to the one true way that leads to You. I pray for spiritual directors and priests Amen. I thank You for such people Amen.
² My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens and to gather lilies.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 2)
Oh God my Father, You are the Shepherd and we are Your flocks of sheep and lambs. We depend totally on You my God and Father whether we admit this or not Amen.
³ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 3)
Oh God my Father, today I make the same declaration, You are mine and I am Yours and nobody can ever break this bond but sin Amen.
⁴ You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 4)
Oh God my Father You are so beautiful, and only those who have seen Your face can testify to such beauty. I thank You for the golden opportunity of having seen You even though it was in a dream or vision. You are beautiful and mighty Amen. I invite you all to join me in this song and prayer credited to Hillsong Worship.

⁵ Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me! Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 5)
Oh God my Father Your eyes may indeed overwhelm me, when I am already in a state of stress and maybe even sin, however in different circumstances I look in Your eyes and find love mercy and compassion Amen.
⁶ Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 6)
Oh God my Father all who it spiritual food consume blessings so much that even the physical body becomes beautiful, however, he who feasts only on the food of the world is subject to decay especially if one does not take good care of one's teeth like myself.
I pray oh God that we learn how to take care of both the body and the soul equally with a special emphasis on the wellbeing of the soul, for that is what will be left when we leave this world amen.
⁷ Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 7)
Oh God my Father one of Your cheeks faces the west and the other to the east, welcoming all humans to kiss and embrace You from all sides Amen.
⁸ There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 8)
Oh God my Father even though You have given us a body to proclaim Your name we have a tongue over which we do not always have control and which at times gets the better or worst of us, especially if we do not stop and think before we speak Amen.
⁹ My dove, my perfect one, is the only one, the darling of her mother, flawless to her that bore her. The maidens saw her and called her happy; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 9)
Oh God my Father perfect in all ways, reliable and understanding caring an loving Amen. There are so many words to describe You that I fail to include them all Amen.
¹⁰ Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?"
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 10)
Oh God, my Father different people can have a different perspective of You. People who have become sudden widowers, or others who have lost family members such as by accident or as a consequence of addiction, at an early age, may perceive You as that God who has literally 'Taken' their loved ones and may not speak highly of You.
However, others who have a healthy relationship with You, and You with them may view life from a very different perspective, one of thanksgiving and positivity even when experiencing the same negative experiences of their predecessors Amen.
¹¹ I went down to the nut orchard, to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines had budded, whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 11)
Oh God my Father I bless the time that I have to observe nature and the environment. I thank You from my heart Amen for all of Your creation.
¹² Before I was aware, my fancy set me in a chariot beside my prince.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 12)
Oh God my Father since our very first encounter when You made Yourself known to me I have found myself attracted to You and to this day we are still in a relationship together Amen.
¹³ Return, return, O Shulammite! Return, return that we may look upon you. Why should you look upon the Shulammite, as a dance before two armies?
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 6 verse 13)
Return oh God my Father, make Yourself felt as in the time of the Exodus so that many will believe and repent and learn to trust in You. Manifest Yourself my God and Father Amen.
I would like to end this meditation on the sixth chapter of the Song of Solomon with the following prayer:-
Oh God my Father when You are present we alienate and live as if You are not with us, however when we are scared or anxious or in times of trouble, we ask the fatal question;-
"Where are You my God? And You answer in a loving tone,
"In the same place where I always am right by your side!
Amen
