You Are the Beloved of God

To men who have lost their wives And with them the love of their lives To widows who have lost a mate But will meet them at heaven's gate To those who find themselves alone For reasons that are yet unknown To those who can't find happiness Who struggle to find thankfulness You are the beloved of God Even though he knows you're flawed He longs to make you all his own His power and love are not on loan If you will just let him draw near He heals and delivers from fear When you feel the ache of emptiness He always responds with gentleness To parents who have lost a child And families not reconciled Estrangement, failure, even crime Pain that continues over time You are the beloved of God Even though he knows you're flawed He longs to make you all his own His power and love are not on loan
