Beloved is my musical imagining of God’s claim that we are each beloved. The beautiful and profound knowledge that we “are loved beyond all knowing” is life-changing.

Lyrics

Beloved, I have called you by name
Beloved, lay down your shame
Though the way may be dark, hope will simmer and spark
I am with you in all of your pain

Beloved, I delight in your life
Beloved, find strength and arise
Walk forth in the light, you are clear in my sight
I rejoice with you now and always

You are loved beyond all knowing
And cradled beyond this place
You’ve been given life abundant
And showered with grace
Beloved

Beloved, I have claimed you as mine
Beloved, my love lives for all time
I bear all things, hope all things, make all things new
My gifts to you – bread and wine

You are loved beyond all knowing
And cradled beyond this place
You’ve been given life abundant
And showered with grace
Beloved

Beloved, I uphold you with care
Beloved, go out now and share
My people to love as with manna above
Find my image everywhere
Beloved
Beloved
Beloved
