You are the Beloved of God


You are loved, you are cherished
you mean everything to God
God made you in His image
to be love in the world
You are the Beloved of God
worthy of God’s grace
of the sacrifice of Christ
You are blessed, in this life,
to be a blessing for others
You are the Beloved of God
children of His likeness
filled with all blessings
held within God’s arms
