Beloved, Be Loved

Beloved,
Be loved
By the lover of your soul
By the one
Who gave up control
Of His life,
Laid it down
Traded His crown
For thorns,
Adoration for scorn
For your sake
He did take up His cross
To die,
To be crucified
A cruel death
With His final breath
He declared
It is finished
Forgiveness
Has won
Through
God’s only Son
Victorious, He

Rose from the grave

To save

And bring healing to all

Hear His call

Hear His glorious voice

One and all

Beloved, be loved

Beloved, be loved
Beloved, be loved
By God
And rejoice
