Upon your heart
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can the floods drown it.
If you keep my commandments,
you shall abide in my love,
Love one another as I have loved you,
Then shall your joy be complete.

Songs of Solomon 8. 6,7
John 15. 9-12
