Our Wedding Song

Here are the lyrics to a song that was sung at the wedding of the Missus and me, back in 2001. It's Michael Card's "Arise, My Love" (based on Song of Solomon). I was having a hard time finding sheet music back then; I wrote to the company that held the rights, and they sent me a photo copy at no charge!

Quote:

Arise, my love, my lovely one come,
Winter is past and the rains are gone.
The flowers appear, it's the season of song,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

Who is it that appears like the dawn?
As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun?
Show me your face, let me hear your voice.
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

Set me like a seal on your heart,
For love is unyielding as the grave.
The flash of it is a jealous fire,
No flood can quench,
For love is as strong as death.

Arise my love and come with me
Before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee.
You ravished my heart with just one glance
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

Do not arose or awaken love
Until it so desires.

Arise, my love, my lovely one come,
The Winter is past and the rains are gone.
The flowers appear, it's season of song,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

I am my love's, my beloved is mine.
Arise and come with me.

I checked Youtube and there aren't any videos of the song (by Card -- although someone else performed it at a wedding and posted that). If anyone could post a Card video of the song, that would be great!
