Song of Solomon 2

Song of Solomon 2:4
"He has brought me to his banquet hall,
And his banner over me is love.
I remember singing this song as a kid.  Somehow, I never realized it came from this book.  I have to admit, that knowledge kinda poisons it for me.

Whatever some people may say, I can't see that this book is supposed to be some kind of stand-in about God and His people.  It's clearly an intimate romance between two humans.  So using this verse in a kid's song just feels wrong now.
