Song of Songs 2:10

I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love.

Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away ,” He calls (Song of Songs 2:10 KJV)! Away from Egypt’ s bondage—away . . . but with Him! Divinely betrothed!

“My Beloved!” are the words. No other voice would have so aroused her. To His voice her heart responds. Expectation quickens the hearing; and when we are truly desirous toward Christ, how quickly the accents of His voice are caught!
