My Beloved
music & lyric by Matthew Levine

Drowning in a sea of tribulation
Drifting away far from the light
Where's the shining Ark of our salvation?
And where is the ocean of Thy might?
O we need You right now
We need You today
We need You to show us the way

There is no beating heart that’s not been battered
No living soul left unperturbed
There is no temple that's not been shattered
No hallowed ground undisturbed
Still I will never leave the shelter that shields me
It's built on a rock that is true
There is no peace save in the arms of my Beloved
There is no life worth living without You

Were it not for the terrible cold
How would the heat of Your words prevail?
Were it not for calamity
How would Your glory be made to shine?

Promises were made, made to awaken us
From ages of old and now renewed
There are those who claim that You have forsaken us
But could it be we that have forsaken You?
O we need You right now
We need You today
We need You to show us the way

There is no beating heart that’s not been battered
No living soul left unperturbed
There is no temple that's not been shattered
No hallowed ground undisturbed
Still I will never leave the shelter that shields me
It's built on a rock that is true
There is no peace save in the arms of my Beloved
There is no life worth living without You
