Songs of Love 2:197

【Many Mountains】

Behold! He came leaping over mountains.

He longed to see my face, and to hear my voice.

O’ Lord, how many mountains You’ve climbed!

How much pain You’ve gone through!

O’ how deep is Your desire for me!

From heaven to the earth You came for me.

You became a Man in flesh and blood

Lord, You took the form of a slave.

For me You bored the bitter cross.

O’ Lord, to see my face and hear my voice

Whispering, “I love you”, to be unit’d with me,

You came leaping over mountains,

Breaking all the distance!

Forever we are one, heart to heart.

With rapt’rous joy You came into my heart,

And lead me into the depth in Your heart.

You’ll bring me to Your glorious throne!

I’ll share Your all, live in sweet love with You

Through all eternity.

【1 Cor 7:1-40】

1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.

4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
