The Shulamite woman admits her failures and she pleads with her husband to “draw me after you.” She is dark and lowly, but by grace the king sees her as a bride without blemish. The love of Solomon for the Shulamite gives us a glimpse of God’s love in Christ for us, the lowly, dark in sin, and many failures, but by His grace He brought us into His chambers of His family. “Lord God, draw us to Thee; For then we Walk in Thy steps forever; And hasten on Where Thou art gone, to be with Thee, dear Savior. Amen (LSB, 701)
