"Beloved" by Tenth Avenue North

This song is so powerful. It really spoke to me about how much God loves us, and the things we do that push him away. His love captivates me, and moves me to want to love Him more. Sometimes I am drawn away and distracted by the things of this world, but I was thinking of it today, and realized how great His love is, and how it should cause a change in our actions. It should cause us to want to put on righteousness, purity, peace, truth, and all the fruit of the Spirit! Wow! God's love is so rich, and I will never be able to fully grasp how wide, how deep, and how long His love for me is. He is in ever pursuit of me, and I want to be the lover in Song of Solomon that waits for His call, that longs for His touch, that can't sleep because of the thirst for her Beloved! That is my desire - to be so captivated in the fullness of God's love that I am swept off my feet! Oh man... His love is SO good! 



Love of my life 
Look deep in my eyes 
There you will find what you need 
Give me your life 
Lust and the lies 
The past you're afraid I might see 
You've been running away from me 

You're my beloved 
Lover I'm yours 
Death shall not part us 
It's you I died for 
For better or worse 
Forever we'll be 
Our Love it unites us 
It binds you to me 
It's a mystery 

Love of my life 
Look deep in my eyes 
There you will find what you need 
I‘m the giver of life 
I'll clothe you in white 
My immaculate bride you will be 
Oh come running home to me 

You're my beloved 
Lover I'm yours 
Death shall not part us 
It's you I died for 
For better or worse 
Forever we'll be 
Our Love it unites us 
It binds you to me 

You've been a mistress, my wife 
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy 
Won't you let me make you my bride 
You will drink of my lips 
And you'll taste new life 

Cause you're my beloved 
Lover I'm yours 
Death shall not part us 
It's you I died for 
For better or worse 
Forever we'll be 
Our Love it unites us 
& it binds you to me 

You're my beloved 
Forever we'll be 
Our love it unites us 
And it binds you to me 
It's a mystery 
It's a mystery
