We Are Loved!
We are so much more than we appear
Greater than the sum of our parts.
Not defined by hobby or career
Nor the shadows hidden in our hearts.
The image and the likeness of our Lord
Created to be loved and to love.
A treasure greater than silver or gold
Unique and special in God’s eyes above.
All creation shouts it but still we somehow doubt it
Forgetting faith when push comes down to shove.
We say we would believe it if only we could see it
But don’t you feel it pour down from above?
Yes, we are loved!
We are so much more than we believe
With dignity inherent in our lives.
But still we are too easy to deceive
And so we give up all for which we strive.
We are greater than the world might say,
More than merely flesh surrounding bone.
Destined for a brighter, better day:
A world much better than we’ve ever known.
All creation shouts it but still we somehow doubt it
Forgetting faith when push comes down to shove.
We say we would believe it if only we could see it
But don’t you feel it pour down from above?
Yes, we are loved!
