The sonnet draws from Song of Solomon 2:8 (KJV), “The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills,” to describe a beloved Savior leaping joyfully across mountains and hills, calling to His redeemed with love and delight. His voice declares them His treasured ones, rejoicing in their redemption. Each step echoes His boundless grace and pleasure in those He claims as His own, affirming their eternal value as His cherished beloved.

The voice of my beloved sounds so clear,
“Behold,” He cries, “My own, My heart’s delight,”
He leaps the mountains, drawing ever near,
O’er hills He skips, His joy in us takes flight.
His call resounds, “My redeemed, you are Mine,”
With every bound, His pleasure shines anew,
No height too vast for love so pure, divine,
He claims us His, with grace forever true.
The rocks cry out, His rapture to proclaim,
Each step a song for those He’s set apart,
His voice enfolds us, calling us by name,
A Savior’s love that binds the broken heart.
My soul, His treasured one, shall ever see,
He leaps with joy to name me His redeemed.
