Beloved

Be loved, my Beloved

You're precious, adored

You're cherished, and favored

And worth so much more

Than rubies, and emeralds 

And diamonds galore

Be loved, my Beloved 

You need nothing more

Be loved, my Beloved

You are never alone

Abandoned, forgotten

Condemned, or  condoned

You may feel neglected 

But I’m right by your side

Be loved, my Beloved

You have nothing to hide

Be loved, my Beloved

When the night seems so long

And when all that’s around you

Just seems to go wrong

You’re my chosen child 

And this much is clear

Be loved, my Beloved

You have nothing to fear

Be loved, my Beloved

I am still in control

I will help you, and heal you

And comfort your soul

I am not in a hurry

But I won’t make you wait

Be loved, my Beloved

I am never late

Be loved, my Beloved 

And don’t give up hope

You will always find me 

At the end of your rope

Place all of your cares 

In the palm of my hand

Be loved, my Beloved

And I’ll help you to stand
