LYRICS:
I’ve seen the photographs; I’ve seen the women on my screens.
It’s heavy on my mind why they seem happier than me.
And I’ve been running ’round,
Chasing down who I think I should be,
Who I should be.
It keeps me up at night.
These expectations always seem
Too heavy, how can I
Find truth when it’s so hard to see?
Cause it’s like trying to find
A drop inside an ocean far too deep.
Hmm
But then I hear You
When I feel alone.
Your voice can heal me,
Save me from myself.
You take my weight
And carry it away.
Chorus:
And I remember
I’m beloved. I’m divine—
Divine in nature,
And I’m perfectly designed.
When I don’t feel wanted,
You call me beloved.
I tune the noises out,
And in the silence I can see
You love me more than life,
And Your love is all the hope I need.
The proof is in the stars
And in the scars You took for all of me.
Sometimes I hear You
When I feel alone.
Your voice can heal me,
Save me from myself.
I know who I am
No matter where I go.
Chorus:
And I remember
I’m beloved. I’m divine—
Divine in nature,
And I’m perfectly designed.
When I don’t feel wanted,
You call me beloved.
And I remember
I’m beloved. I’m divine—
Divine in nature,
And I’m perfectly designed.
When I don’t feel wanted,
You call me beloved.
My scars don’t make me who I am.
Oh, they just tell my story.
The imperfections fade away,
And You help me see the beauty.
My scars don’t make me who I am.
Oh, they just tell my story.
The imperfections fade away,
Fade away.
Chorus:
And I remember
I’m beloved. I’m divine—
Divine in nature,
And I’m perfectly designed.
When I don’t feel wanted,
You call me beloved.
