You’re the beloved one
I praise you as my Savior
For everything you’ve done
Soaking, soaking, soaking
Claim my treasure, true
Through your gracious mercy
I’m the beloved too
Seeing, seeing, seeing
In each neighbor aware
They are the beloved
In this binding share
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Let our binding be
In our belovedness
Loving joyfully
At the core of our faith
This conviction, be awed
We are the beloved
Children of God
Can we believe it?
In our head to abound
Be known in our gut
So, we are turned around
Go read the scriptures
This truth seeping, of
For I have loved you
With everlasting love
Here I embrace you
A covenant, be
You are mine, I am yours
And you belong to me
We have to hear this
As our guiding star
To live as the beloved
Because that’s who we are
When we start believing
Upon this knowledge formed
Our daily and Spiritual
Life will be transformed
We will still have pain
Still bear our cross
Successes and failures
Rejection and loss
But we’ll no longer live
Without identity
For we know who we are
As the beloved, we be
(based upon words by Henri Nouwen)
This truth to be known
Completely aware
You are loved truly
Right now, and right here
You are loved fully
Cherished, adored
With a perfect love
Couldn’t be loved more
Repeat in your soul
In your veins to flow
Becoming your flesh
Incarnation to know
Echoing His voice
Child, I love you
My beloved one
I’ll always love you
Our identity
Is blessed through God’s own Son
Still, He speaks to us
We’re His beloved one
Ponder this now deeply
Let this truth sink in
Cherished in the soul
Engrain it here within
Thought so underserving
Rise up in protest
Yet He makes it so
With our sins confessed
Let this be our mantra
Repeating in the way
See all through His lens
Refreshed each time we pray
Come now one beloved
Attune to light within
Come now know my calling
Let our prayer begin
Rest now one of dwelling
May all worries go
Come now know my loving
Let the Spirit flow
Be now one of knowing
Binding to the core
Come now know rejoicing
Let us all adore
Come now one of loving
Way has been prepared
Go now child blessed
Let our joy be shared
A treasure awaits
Unclaimed gift of love
Of our belovedness
From our God above
We are loved completely
Not based on what we do
Let us embrace it fully
In our soul ring true
Fruit sprouts from its truth
Of resounding joy
Light of You emitting
Love to share, employ
Engrain in the soul
Echo through and through
In everyone you meet
They’re His beloved too!
