Today... 'The Chiefest Among Ten Thousand' Poem by Roy Allen

Song of Solomon 5: 10
My lover is radiant and ruddy,
       outstanding among ten thousand.
  His head is purest gold;
       his hair is wavy
       and black as a raven.
  His eyes are like doves
       by the water streams,
       washed in milk,
       mounted like jewels.
  His cheeks are like beds of spice
       yielding perfume.
       His lips are like lilies
       dripping with myrrh.
  His arms are rods of gold
       set with chrysolite.
       His body is like polished ivory
       decorated with sapphires. [b]
  His legs are pillars of marble
       set on bases of pure gold.
       His appearance is like Lebanon,
       choice as its cedars.
  His mouth is sweetness itself;
       he is altogether lovely.
       This is my lover, this my friend,
       O daughters of Jerusalem.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
