Dance
With Me –Becoming The Bride Collection …© Glenda Wilson
I don’t remember exactly what was going on when I first heard Paul Wilbur’s
song, "Dance with me”. I know that it seemed to be winter in my soul. I
needed to hear that winter is past and springtime has come. Many times, we
allow “the feelings” of the soulish realm to override spiritual realities.
In the spirit, winter is indeed past for springtime (Jesus) has come.
Song 2:10-11 My beloved spoke, and said to
me:” Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is
past, the rain is over and gone. NKJV
Dance with me oh Lover of my soul to the
song of all songs. Come and sing oh lover of my soul to the song of all
songs. Lord you have come over the hills upon the mountains. To me you
have come, my beloved -captured my heart. Dance with me oh lover of my soul
to the song of all songs. With you I will go. You are my love. You are my
fair one. Winter has past and the springtime has come. Take my hand oh
lover of my soul- sing the song of all songs. Come and take us to yourself
oh lord, sing the song of all songs. You I adore you are my love you are my
fair one winter has past and the springtime has come. (Partial words to the
song sung by Paul Wilbur)
I began to see myself
dancing with “the Lover of my soul”. As I was dancing, nothing seemed to
matter. In His presence, all inhibitions …all inabilities melt away. My
focus was entirely on Him –His love piercing to the depths of my being.
There were no shadows of grey, I was clearly His, and He was mine –like
there was no one else in the world.
Song 2:16-17 My beloved is mine, and I am his:
he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break and the shadows flee away,
turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains
of Bether (literally separation). KJV
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes
down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of
turning. NKJV
Song of Solomon has become
precious to me. It has inspired two other pieces of art. - Come Away My
Love and He Feeds Among The Lilies. In Song of Solomon, her beloved beckons
to come away with Him. In the distance, of the piece Come Away My Love, we
see a castle – a hideaway – He wants to take her to that secret place.
Inside I began to picture a grand ballroom that was set aside for the two of
them – The Bride and the Groom. Here we see the Bride in that ballroom.
Although the song has the bride-singing, dance with me, as I was working on
this piece I heard the Lord say, “Come Dance with Me. Let me impart to you,
let me heal you. Come bask in my embrace. Let me dance with you in purpose
and destiny …throughout eternity.
May this piece take you
there? See yourself dancing with Him. Go to the ballroom –to the place set
aside just for the two of you. Answer His invitation, “come away with Me,
My beloved. Enter into the intimacy, experience the springtime that has
come through Christ.
