I Am Loved

I heard a song today for the first time.

Actually, I heard it for the second, third, fourth, and fifth times today, too.

Because it spoke to me in a way I desperately needed.  And I needed to hear it again and again and again.

And I thought, just maybe, you might need to hear it, too.

It's called, "I Am Loved."

Here are the lyrics--I've highlighted the ones that spoke most deeply to my heart today:

"I Am Loved" by Above the Golden State

I didn't think this could happen to me
I wanted the easy road
I had my parade, but it started to rain
And now it looks out of control

Why do I feel like Your hiding?
Oh remind me again

I am loved
I am Yours
I have someone beside me
I can't deny I am loved

Sometimes we go to sleep wishing that we could be
Different than who we are
Chasing our dreams has taken its toll on me
I tried just a little too hard

And I, I keep beating myself up
Oh remind me again
I am loved
I am Yours
I have someone to find me
Someone to guide me home

I am loved
I'm not alone
I have someone beside me
And I can't deny I am loved

You're not far away
You're not far away
You're not far away

Maybe your driving out there on the highway
Feels like you're out on your own
Let me remind you God never left you
He's right there wherever you go

You are loved
You're not alone
You have someone to find you
Someone to guide you home

You are loved
You're not alone
Cause God is beside you
And He won't deny you are loved

Cause God is beside you
And He won't deny you are loved

If God won't deny that I am loved, who am I to deny it?

I am loved.  I am loved.  I am loved.

And so are you.
