So what do you mean in Here I Am...waiting like a lover...??? I don't think of Jesus as waiting like a lover...that makes a sexual act and picture pop into my mind that is not what I want to be thinking of when I sing praise to Jesus...God's Love, Mary

While I understand the imagery can be jarring to some, the lover analogy come from The Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) in the Bible. The book is quite direct in its sexual imagery between 2 people deeply, passionately in love; it is also widely regarded as analogous to God's love for Israel, and in a Christian context, the love of Jesus to the Church, and really to the whole world, because he died so that everyone might be saved. Paul writes in one of the Epistles that husbands should love their wives like Christ loves his Church. Christ lives His flock so much, he died for them. In turn, husbands who are deeply and passionately in love with their wives should be willing to die to save them. That is where his lyric comes from.
