Rose of Sharon

“I am truly his rose,
the very theme of his song.
I’m overshadowed by his love,
like a lily growing in the valley!”

Song of Songs 2:1 The Passion Translation

Footnote
^2:1 The Hebrew text reads “a rose of Sharon.” The word Sharon can be translated “his song.” She [The Shulamite] now sees herself as the one he sings over. The root word for rose [Hb. habab] can mean “overshadowed.”

  Rose of Sharon

Petals
Rose's wrap
Broken, fallen
... crushed ...

Fresh crushing
Fresh oil
Costly
Exquisite

I am YOUR rose
I can trust You
to collect my oil
as a fragrance
that makes Your heart sing
and exudes Your beauty
