Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house. Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.
The city of Tyre will come with a gift, people of wealth will seek your favor. All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.
In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her—those brought to be with her.
Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.
Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever. - Psalm 45:10-17
Listen to father
O daughter now dressed so fine
Time to forget me
O daughter now dressed so fine
Time to forget me
Now another man
Must take my place in your heart
No time for sadness
Joy now not regret
Gladness for new beginnings
None will forget you
Held back by regret?
Or does the next adventure
With God draw me on?
