Maverick City Music - I Am Loved Lyrics
Lyrics
All that I am
All that I have
Is beautifully made by Your hands
There are no questions
There is no doubt
That you look at me and feel proud
You're not embarrassed, you're not ashamed
You stand in wonder of what You've made
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
All that I am
All that I have
Is beautifully made by Your hands
And there are no questions
There is no doubt
That you look at me and feel proud, oh
You're not embarrassed, You're not ashamed
You stand in wonder of what You've made
And I am loved, I am loved by You (oh)
I am loved, I am loved by You (oh Jesus)
I am loved, I am loved by You (I am loved by you)
I am loved, I am loved by You
Your love will not run empty
Your love's a well that will never run dry
Your love will not run empty
Your love grows sweeter and sweeter with time
Your love will not run empty (it never runs empty)
Your love's a well that will never run dry (no)
Your love will not run empty (no, no)
Your love grows sweeter and sweeter (your love)
Your love will not run empty
Your love's a well that will never run dry
Your love will not run empty
Your love grows sweeter and sweeter with time
It grows sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter
Sweeter and sweeter with time
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
Your love grows sweeter, sweeter
(Come and say I'm loved)
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved by You
Sweeter and sweeter with time
Sweeter and sweeter with time
(Like a fine wine, yeah)
Sweeter and sweeter with time
Sweeter and sweeter with time
(You know)
'Cause there is nothing better
Than to be where you are
Near to your heart
All that I want
There is nothing better
My strength in my song
Here in your arms, oh lovely arms
Oh there is nothing better
Than to be where you are
Listen to your heart
Near to your heart
There is nothing better
My strength in my song
Here in your arms is where I belong
(Come on, one more time, there's a little bit)
There is nothing better
Than to be where you are
Near to your heart is where I belong
There is nothing better
My strength in my song
Here in your arms is where I belong

Meaning & Inspiration
Maverick City Music's "I Am Loved," released on July 29, 2019, as part of their debut album *Maverick City, Vol. 1*, is a powerful anthem that centers on the profound realization of being unconditionally loved by God. The song’s genesis, like much of Maverick City Music's output, stems from a desire to express the unfathomable grace and acceptance found in faith, particularly through worship sessions where authentic expressions of love for God and His love in return are paramount. "I Am Loved" zeroes in on the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, asserting that our very being, "all that I am, all that I have," is fearfully and wonderfully made, a direct echo of Psalm 139:14. The lyrics poetically articulate a divine perspective where God not only views His creation but feels immense pride, casting aside any notion of embarrassment or shame. This mirrors the biblical truth found in Isaiah 62:5, which states that the Lord rejoices over His people. The repeated refrain, "I am loved, I am loved by You," serves as a declaration of this divine affection, acting as both a personal affirmation and a communal declaration of faith.
The song delves deeper into the inexhaustible nature of God's love, describing it as a well that will never run dry, a sentiment beautifully captured in John 4:14 where Jesus speaks of living water that becomes a wellspring within believers. This unfailing love is also presented as something that grows sweeter with time, a testament to the ever-present and deepening intimacy God offers, akin to the enduring love described in Jeremiah 31:3, where God declares His everlasting love. The central message is one of secure identity found not in worldly achievements or opinions, but in the unwavering gaze of a loving Creator. The bridge of the song articulates a profound contentment, stating, "There is nothing better than to be where You are, near to Your heart." This speaks to the ultimate fulfillment found in dwelling in God's presence, a desire echoed in Psalm 27:4, which expresses a longing to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of one's life. The song’s essence is a vibrant, unshakeable declaration that in God’s eyes, we are not just accepted but cherished, a truth that can transform how one sees themselves and navigates the world.
