#MorningWorship - Beloved

Each morning, I start off my day by listening to my personally curated "Morning Worship" playlist on my phone. It's a playlist with days' worth of gospel and worship music that I have grown up with and listened to for over 30 years.

I want to share with you a song each morning that I listened to that day that inspired me and reminded me of God's goodness, love and mission for us on Earth.

Today's song: "Beloved" by Jordan Feliz

(lyrics below the video)

Head full of questions, how can you measure up?

To deserve affection, to ever be enough for this existence

When did it get so hard?

Your heart is beating, alive and breathing

And there's a reason why you are essential, not accidental

And you should realize

You are beloved

I wanted you to know

You are beloved

Let it soak into your soul

Oh, forget the lies you heard

Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words

You are beloved

I want you to know you are beloved

You, you, you are beloved

Sometimes a heart can feel like a heavy weight

It pulls you under, and you just fall away

Is anybody gonna hear you call?

But there's a purpose under the surface, and you don't have to drown

Let me remind you that love will find you, let it lift you out

You are beloved

I wanted you to know

You are beloved

Let it soak into your soul

Oh, forget the lies you heard

Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words

You are beloved

I want you to know you are beloved

Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade

Keep your eyes fixed on the light above

In the heartbreak, in your mistakes

Nothing can separate you from love

Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade

Keep your eyes fixed on the light above, oh

In the heartbreak, in your mistakes

Nothing can separate you from love

You are beloved

I wanted you to know (you to know)

You are beloved

Let it soak into your soul, oh

Forget the lies you heard

Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words

You are beloved

I want you to know you are beloved

You, you, you are beloved

You, you, you are beloved, yeah

Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade

Keep your eyes fixed on the light above (you are beloved)

In the heartbreak, in your mistakes

Nothing can separate you from love

You are beloved
