"Place me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; because love is as strong as death is, insistence on exclusive devotion is as unyielding as She′ol is. Its blazings are the blazings of a fire, the flame of Jah."
--Song of Solomon 8:6
"Love is as strong as death is"
What can men do to me?
Walking, while men naked stumble and fall
Seeing and believing because it cannot lie
Longing for restoration beginning to see
"Love is as strong as death is"
"Love is a strong as death is"
The strength of men cannot subdue it
Gazing it guides me through narrow doors
Standing in the place of men whose bones protrude
Stepping I will not stumble I won't be fooled
"Love is as strong as death is"
"Love is as strong as death is"
The chill of death cannot exhaust its flame
Standing one green mile from my fate
As dead men walk beside me
Under the tree of my birth my mind recalls
As mothers wail and bring forth their children
"Love is as strong as death is"
