Crowder - My Beloved Lyrics
Lyrics
My Beloved bring me awake
Take me up to your resurrection place
My Beloved bring me awake
'cause I want to feel Your Light on my Face
Oh, there's a sun coming up
In my soul, Lord, in my soul
There's a sun coming up
In my soul, Lord, in my soul
My Beloved bring me awake
Take me up to your resurrection place
My Beloved bring me awake
'cause I want to feel Your Light on my Face
Chorus
Oh, there's a sun coming up
In my soul, Lord, in my soul
There's a sun coming up
In my soul, Lord, in my soul
I see the light, I see the light
I see the light, I see the light
Oh thank you God I see the light
Hey! Hey!
Oh
Hey! Hey!
Oh
Hey! Hey!
Oh
Hey! Hey!
My Beloved take me away
Over Jordan up out of this place
My Beloved, for you I wait
With you here till forever face to face
Chorus
Oh, no more sorrow, no more pain
No more darkness weighing down on me
No longer blind now I can see
Forever light, forever free
Forever light, forever light
Forever light, forever light
I see the light, I see the light
I see the light, I see the light
Oh thank you God I see the light
I see the light, I see the light
I see the light, I see the light
Oh thank you God I see the light

Passion - My Beloved (feat. Crowder) ft. Crowder
Meaning & Inspiration
Crowder's "My Beloved," featured on the 2013 release *Neon Steeple (Deluxe Edition)*, offers a profound and deeply spiritual plea, resonating with the longing for divine awakening and eternal presence. The song's narrative is not just about hearing a beautiful melody, but about a soul's yearning to be roused from slumber and brought into the light of God. From its opening lines, the singer invokes a personal and intimate relationship with "My Beloved," a clear reference to Christ. This isn't a distant deity, but a lover to whom the speaker cries out, "bring me awake," a direct echo of passages like Song of Solomon 8:5, which speaks of being roused by love. The desire to be taken to a "resurrection place" is not merely a wish for a physical afterlife, but a yearning for spiritual transformation, a rebirth into the fullness of God's presence, much like the hope Paul articulates in Philippians 3:10-11, where he longs to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.
The central imagery of a "sun coming up in my soul" is a powerful metaphor for the dawning of God's truth and grace within a believer's heart. This awakening signifies the dispelling of spiritual darkness and the illumination of understanding, mirroring the promise in John 8:12, where Jesus declares, "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." The repeated exclamations of seeing the light, accompanied by gratitude, underscore the transformative power of divine encounter. This is the moment when the blindness of sin and ignorance is overcome, replaced by the clarity of salvation. The plea, "My Beloved take me away, Over Jordan up out of this place," evokes the biblical narrative of crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land, symbolizing a transition from a state of earthly struggle to the eternal inheritance with God. This imagery aligns with the faith of Abraham, who looked forward to a city with eternal foundations (Hebrews 11:9-10). The final affirmation of "no more sorrow, no more pain," and being "forever light, forever free" encapsulates the ultimate hope of redemption, where all earthly suffering ceases and believers are fully established in the eternal glory of God's kingdom, a state anticipated in Revelation 21:4. "My Beloved" is more than a song; it's a prayer set to music, a testament to the enduring human desire for divine intimacy and the life-changing power of God's embrace.
