Shalom To My Lady Lyrics

Verse 1
This is a song of love and life
Of a man and his bride
Whom he has chosen to be wife
It was love at first sight
He loved and adored her
For he is her kinsman redeemer
He can’t live without her,
She is his desire
As he sings this song to her

Chorus
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my bride, virtuous Ruth
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my love and I will keep you

Verse 2
When he saw her the first time,
He said in his mind
‘Who is this damsel so fine?’
Her inward beauty,
Character and conviction
Caused the attraction
Now he is only thinking
Of loving and living
As his heart keeps singing

Chorus
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my bride, virtuous Ruth
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my love and I will keep you

Verse 3
She had fears and doubts
but the words of his mouth
Drove them all out
He showed her great favour
And would often whisper
Kind words unto her
Now she has a greater knowing
of the love he is showing
As he sings Shalom, good morning

Chorus
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my bride, virtuous Ruth
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my love and I will keep you

Verse 4
Where is thy beloved? (Where is he)
What is he doing?
Where is gone?
When is he coming? (Coming, coming, coming)
I go to prepare for you
A place to come into
That where I am you be there too
Soon bride and groom
Will go to the honeymoon
And this song will be their tune

Chorus
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my bride, virtuous Ruth
Shalom unto my lady,
You are my love and I will keep you

Notes

The hymn Shalom to My Lady is a tender allegory of the love between Christ and His Church, portrayed as the relationship between a bridegroom and his bride. For a Christian, it symbolizes the intimate bond of love, commitment, and redemption shared between Jesus and His believers.

The first verse introduces the theme of divine love, with Christ, the kinsman-redeemer, choosing His bride. The reference to “love at first sight” reflects God’s eternal and unchanging love for His people, desiring their union with Him.

The chorus, “Shalom unto my lady,” expresses peace, care, and commitment, portraying the Church as Christ’s cherished bride, likened to the virtuous Ruth in Scripture.

The subsequent verses delve deeper into the relationship, illustrating Christ’s admiration for the Church’s inner beauty, character, and faith. His words dispel fear and doubt, affirming His love and favor.

The fourth verse reflects Christ’s promise to prepare a place for His bride (John 14:2-3), symbolizing the ultimate union in eternity. The imagery of a honeymoon signifies the joy and fulfillment awaiting believers in God’s presence.

This hymn encapsulates the assurance of Christ’s love, His promises, and the peace (“Shalom”) that believers find in their divine relationship with Him.
