INTRO

VERSE 1

I've never known a love like this
before
Never thought that I could be
so sure
Not a fear or anxious thought
Is enough to change Your heart

CHORUS 1

I am loved, I am loved
And there's nothing I can do
To change Your mind
I am loved
And it's more than every joy

No greater treasure,
Than knowing I am Yours
And You are mine
I am loved
And I've never been this free
in all my life

You knew my name
And You're with me every step

You're the place where I belong

CHORUS 2

I am loved, I am loved
And there's nothing I can do
To change Your mind
I am loved
And it's more than every joy

I am loved
And I've never been this free
in all my life

Oh, I've never been this free, yeah
I've never been this free

Loved - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

Pat Barrett's song "Loved" is a beautiful testament to the unconditional love that God has for us. It's a love that is unchanging, unwavering, and unending. This love is not based on our actions, our words, or our knowledge, but simply on the fact that we are His. This sentiment is echoed in Romans 8:38-39, where Paul writes, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The lyrics of the song and this verse from Romans both emphasize the unchanging nature of God's love. No matter what we do, no matter what we say, no matter what we know or don't know, God's love for us remains the same. This is a love that is more than every joy we've ever felt combined, a love that sets us free. This freedom is also mentioned in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

The song and these verses remind us that we are not just loved by God, but we are also treasured by Him. We are His, and He is ours. This is a profound truth that can transform our lives. It can free us from fear, anxiety, and the need to prove ourselves. It can give us a sense of belonging, a sense of home. 

As we listen to this song and reflect on these verses, let's ask ourselves: Do we truly believe that we are loved by God? Do we truly believe that we are His treasured possession? Do we truly believe that we are free in Him? And if we do believe these truths, how are they transforming our lives? How are they influencing our thoughts, our words, and our actions? How are they shaping our relationships, our decisions, and our priorities? 

Let's take some time to ponder these questions, to delve deeper into the truth of God's love for us, and to allow this truth to set us free. Because the truth is, we are loved by God, and there's nothing we can do to change His mind. We are His, and He is ours. And in Him, we are truly free.
