Isaiah 53:5

Song of Solomon 2:1-2, 3-4
 
2-16-19, * -- The famous hymn "Lily of the Valley" [1]  claims Jesus is the LILY and in scripture it’s a bit tricky to discern who IS the ‘lily?’ Traditionally it has been interpreted as the Lord Jesus Christ, unfortunately that is incorrect. See the picturesque description in Solomon's scriptures:

• "I am the... lily of the valleys. v3 under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit was sweet to my taste [the lily]. v4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and His banner over me [the lily] was love." [Clearly the woman is the Lily; it's the Church rather than Christ.] Song of Solomon 2:1-4
• The voice of my beloved! behold, He cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills - My beloved is mine, and I am His: He feedeth among the lilies. Song of Solomon 2:8,16
• Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse [Bride of Christ]; Thou hast ravished my heart. Song of Solomon​ 4:9

The "lily" refers to the object of God's love in the feminine sense. We, the church, are the "Lily of the Valleys." In the New Testament, Jesus uses the "lilies" to represent the simplicity, purity, and effortless glory of the saints. Luke 12:27

[1] The hymn 'LILY OF THE VALLEY' is lovely and I include the link for a playlist below - even tho it refers to Jesus as the 'LILY.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9hCM8tv2G4&list=RDi9hCM8tv2G4&start_radio=1&t=0

Ephesians 3:14-17; Matthew 13:15

Lyrics

Chorus:
Step into the water,
wade out a little bit deeper.
Wet your feet in the water of His love.
Ohh Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper,
come join angels singin',
praises to the Lamb of God.
To the Lamb of God.

It's time we the people,
stand up for what is right.
It's time we squared our shoulders back,
and raised our swords to fight.
For the Bible is my weapon,
and the spirit is my shield.
The church needs more of its members
to be workers in the field.

Chorus

There is victory for the Christian,
who walks the narrow way.
There has been a prize appointed,
for the soul who does not stray.
Oh I want to live for Jesus,
be all that I should be.
So that I can rest with Him forever,
live eternally.​

Chorus x 4

Revelation 19:11

Job 33:28; John 8:12

Mary said:
"My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; As He spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to His seed for ever." Luke 1:47-48, 49-50, 51-52, 53-55

Psalm 18:2; Hebrews 6:19

Psalm 92:1-2

Jesus said, "This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12-13

"Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
​Romans 5:6-8

Battle Hymn of Republic
by U.S. Army Chorus
'Glory, Glory Hallelujah His Truth is Marching On!'

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
                       His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
                       His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
                       Since God is marching on.”

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
                       Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
                       While God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on.
