This GOD Is Mine, In All HIS Glorious Perfections!

I am my Beloved's--

and my Beloved is mine!
(Archibald Brown, "This God Our God!")

"I am my Beloved's--
and my Beloved is mine!" 
Song of Songs 6:3

There are two passages in the Scripture 
which ought never to be separated.

One is 

"The LORD's portion is HIS people." 
Deuteronomy 32:9. 

That is GOD'S side.

And the other passage is this: 

"The LORD is my portion." 
Lamentations 3:24

GOD and I possess each other. 
GOD finds HIS portion in HIS people--
and HIS people find their portion in GOD.

HIS heart is mine--
for HE loves me.

HIS ear is mine--
for I may pour into it all my tales 
of sorrow and all my songs of joy.

HIS eyes are mine--
for they watch me from 
morning until night.

HIS hand is mine--
for it is stretched out 
to uphold me.

This GOD is mine--
in all HIS glorious perfections!

Oh, HE is a GOD of infinite glory. 
Abased in the very dust, and half 
bewildered by the thought, I yet dare 
to look up, and say, 

"This GOD is my GOD forever and ever! 
HE will be my guide even until death!" 
Psalm 48:14
