The business principles of Tirzah are founded on a poetic love story in the Bible’s Old Testament known as Song of Solomon, also referenced as the Song of Songs meaning the greatest of all songs. Literally, the book is a romantic depiction of marriage; however symbolically, it is a beautiful representation of Christ and His church. This enchanting collection of love poems is between a man and a woman celebrating the relationship that God intended for marriage; it begins with the courtship, a wedding, and the maturing marriage. The biblical poet portrays marriage to be celebrated, enjoyed, and revered; the marriage is a model of care, commitment, and delight. The journey begins in Chapter 1 with the Bride confessing her love … “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine.” The Groom delights in her beauty, “Behold, you are beautiful, my love; your eyes are doves.” Their love is blossoming in Chapter 3 when she affirms that she has “found the one whom her soul loves.” In Chapter 4, he admires the beauty of his Bride, and says, “My bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes.”
Their love continues in Chapter 6 as they are together in the picturesque garden. She tells him, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” He passionately responds with “Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah.” In the 8th chapter, the last chapter, final advice is provided in that “Many waters cannot quench love!”
