Jordan Feliz - Beloved Lyrics
Lyrics
Head full of questions, how can you measure up to deserve affection, to ever be enough
For this existence, when did it get so hard your heart is beating, alive and breathing and there's a reason why
You are essential, not accidental and you should realize
You are beloved
I wanted you to know you are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Forget the lies you heard, rise above the hurt and listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know you are beloved you are beloved
Sometimes a heart can, feel like a heavy weight it pulls you under, and you just fall away
Is anybody gonna hear you call but there's a purpose, under the surface
And you don't have to drown let me remind you, that love will find you
Let it lift you out
You are beloved I wanted you to know
You are beloved let it soak into your soul
Forget the lies you heard, rise above the hurt and listen to these words
You are beloved I want you to know
You are beloved you are beloved
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes nothing can separate you from love
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes nothing can separate you from love
You are beloved I wanted you to know
You are beloved let it soak into your soul
Forget the lies you heard, rise above the hurt and listen to these words
You are beloved I want you to know you are beloved
You are beloved you are beloved
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes nothing can separate you from love

Meaning & Inspiration
Jordan Feliz's "Beloved," found on his 2015 release *The River (Deluxe Edition)*, is a powerful anthem that resonates with the deep truth of our identity in Christ. The song centers on the profound realization that regardless of our past mistakes, perceived failures, or the whispers of doubt that can plague us, we are eternally cherished and held in high regard by our Creator. This isn't just a catchy tune; it's a profound declaration of God's unfailing love and the transformative power of knowing we are His. Feliz's message echoes the Apostle Paul's assurance in Romans 8:38-39, where he states that nothing, not even "height or depth, nor any other created thing," can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The song directly addresses the insecurity that can arise from striving for external validation, reminding us that our worth is not dictated by our accomplishments or the opinions of others, but by the immutable love of God. This aligns perfectly with the teaching in 1 John 4:10, which says, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." "Beloved" encourages a shift in perspective from self-reliance to divine reliance, urging listeners to embrace the truth of their blessed status. It's a call to shed the weight of condemnation and step into the freedom of being completely accepted, just as we are, because of Christ's sacrifice. This resonates with the promise in Ephesians 1:6, that God's glorious grace is a gift, freely bestowed upon us in the Beloved. The song's impact lies in its straightforward yet deeply encouraging reminder that our identity is not built on shifting sands, but on the solid rock of God's unchanging affection, a love that predates our existence and will endure for all eternity. It’s a vital message for anyone seeking solace and a firm foundation in a world that often feels uncertain.
