To be the beloved

By Joel Howard

Be loved

Be cared for

Get washed

Get served

Let Christ

Let others

Be gift

To me

Be loved

Get fed

Have needs

Get met

Stop listening

Pour out

To God

Your heart

Be seen

Be quiet

Be known

Be still

Have fun

Being known

Being loved

Oh, Beloved!

Satan couldn’t stand to step aside

But you and I must in Jesus hide

Hear his voice saying deep inside

Deep tonight: “I love you, child”
