You are Loved

song composed for Kiew Chao Zhen =)

Verse 1:

Your joyful smile
no guilt, no guile
as you discover
this world of wonder

You've learnt to stand
to use your hands
to crawl and creep;
soon, run and leap

and i pray that as you grow
each passing day, you'll come to know

Chorus 1:

That you are loved, you are dear
you are precious, without peer
you are worth, much more than gold
far beyond things bought or sold
yes, you are loved!

Verse 2:

soon, words you'll wield
i hope they'll yield
to you great pleasure
tomes full of treasure

there's this one Book
i hope you'll look
beyond the words
to find the Word

and i pray that as you grow
each passing day, you'll come to know

Chorus 2:

that you are loved, you are dear
He braved the Cross to draw you near
your are worth, much more than gold
He shed His blood, a price untold
yes, you are loved!

Bridge:

you'll face bouts of storms and rain
walls of doubt, fear, and pain
but if you're His, and He's yours too
in all of this, He'll see you through

Finale:
Repeat Chorus 1, beginning with 'for' instead of 'that'
Repeat Chorus 2, beginning with 'yes' instead of 'that'
