Church – people of God.
Rejoice!
Because the time has come for the people of God to take the land.
It’s time to rejoice;
not to weep anymore.
The time to sing has come.
Be ready and prepare yourselves.
Prepare, for the harvest is ready.
Prepare.
——-
My beloved spoke, and said to me:
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
For the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!.
(Song of Solomon 2:10-13)
