Beloved

Beloved, I made you;
Beloved, it's true;
I knit you together
In your mother's womb.

Beloved, I want you;
Beloved, come near;
Listen to my heartbeat;
It calls out to you.

Beloved, I know you;
Beloved, don't run;
For you're lost without me
And my tender care.

Beloved, you shun me;
Beloved, come back;
I spread my arms wide, dear;
Don't ignore my call.

Beloved, I break you;
Beloved, it hurts;
But you wouldn't listen;
I looked for you then.

Beloved, I love you;
And have a great plan
To free you from bondage
In my promised land.
