Katherine Jenkins - Be My Love Lyrics
Lyrics
Be my love for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with every sweet desire
Be my love and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you for me eternally
If you will be my love
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with every sweet desire
Be my love and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you for me eternally
If you will be my love

Katherine Jenkins - Be My Love
Meaning & Inspiration
Katherine Jenkins' rendition of "Be My Love," featured on her 2012 album *Music From The Movies*, transcends mere romantic entreaty, blossoming into a profound exploration of devoted desire that resonates with biblical themes of covenant and singular love. While originating from a secular context, Jenkins' powerful mezzo-soprano voice imbues the lyrics with a spiritual yearning, echoing the Psalmist's declaration, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you" (Psalm 73:25). The song's central plea, "Be my love for no one else can end this yearning," speaks to an unfulfilled desire, a hunger that only a specific, singular presence can satisfy. This mirrors the spiritual longing for God, as described in Isaiah 26:8: "Yes, LORD, in the way of your paths we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the delight of our soul." The lyrics emphasize a profound sense of exclusivity, "no one else can end this yearning," and "no one but you for me eternally." This exclusivity finds a beautiful parallel in the concept of a divine covenant, where God chooses a people and calls them to exclusive devotion, much like a lover choosing one soul. The promise within the song, "And hand in hand we'll find love's promised land," evokes the journey of faith, where believers, guided by God's hand, are led toward eternal redemption, a spiritual "promised land" secured through divine grace. The "sweet desire" that fills the dreams in the song can be understood as a reflection of the Spirit's work within us, awakening a longing for holiness and union with the divine, as the Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 2:13, "for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Jenkins’ performance elevates these lyrical expressions of deep affection and commitment, inviting listeners to consider the depth of love and the singular focus it requires, both in earthly relationships and in the ultimate spiritual union. The song’s message, when viewed through the lens of faith, becomes an anthem for unwavering devotion, urging us to recognize and cherish the one true source of fulfillment, that incomparable love which seals our eternal fate in His everlasting embrace.
