Passion + Crowder - My Beloved Lyrics
Lyrics
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
Woah, woah, woah
My Beloved, bring me awake
Take me up to Your resurrection place
My Beloved, bring me awake
'Cause I wanna feel Your light on my face
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
Woah, woah, woah
My Beloved, take me away
Over Jordan up out of this place
My Beloved, for You I'll wait
With You here 'til forever face to face
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
Woah
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more darkness weighing down on me
No longer blind now I can see
Forever light, forever free
I see the light, I see the light
I see the light, I see the light
Oh, thank you, God, I see the light
Woah

Meaning & Inspiration
"My Beloved," a powerful track from Passion and Crowder's 2013 release *Neon Steeple (Deluxe Edition)*, emerges not just as a song but as a profound declaration of spiritual awakening and redemptive hope. This collaboration beautifully encapsulates the transformative power of encountering the divine, painting a vivid picture of a soul emerging from darkness into the radiant presence of God. The core message resonates with the deeply personal and yet universally understood experience of finding light after a period of spiritual struggle or obscurity. The lyrics speak of a "sun coming up in my soul," a powerful metaphor for the dawn of faith and understanding that banishes the shadows of despair. This imagery directly echoes biblical accounts of God's revelation; for instance, Isaiah 9:2 speaks of a people walking in darkness seeing a great light, a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:16). The repeated affirmation, "I see the light, I see the light," is a joyful testament to this newfound clarity and the gratitude that accompanies it, mirroring the Psalmist's cry of deliverance, "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy" (Psalm 30:11).
The central invocation of "My Beloved" signifies a profound intimacy with God, a relational aspect that is foundational to Christian faith. This term, frequently used in the Song of Solomon to describe the lover and beloved, is here applied to the divine, highlighting the deep affection and personal connection believers have with their Heavenly Father. The plea, "bring me awake," and the desire to be taken to "Your resurrection place" and feel "Your light on my face" are poignant expressions of longing for spiritual renewal and eternal life. This yearning is deeply rooted in the New Testament's emphasis on resurrection and new life in Christ. The Apostle Paul describes this transformation in Ephesians 2:4-5: "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." The desire to be "taken away, Over Jordan up out of this place" is a beautiful allusion to the biblical narrative of crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land, symbolizing the transition from a life of struggle and sin into the fullness of God's presence and eternal inheritance. This hope for a future "face to face" communion with God, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:12, underpins the entire song's optimistic outlook. The final verses explicitly reject "sorrow" and "pain," proclaiming freedom from the "darkness weighing down on me" and an everlasting state of being "forever light, forever free." This powerful resolution finds its ultimate fulfillment in the promises of Revelation 21:4, which foretells a time when God "will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." "My Beloved" is thus a resonant anthem for anyone who has experienced the profound peace and exhilarating joy of surrendering to God's love and embracing the light of His truth.
