Scripture:

John 1:1-4, 14-18

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4 in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified to him and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’”) 16 From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.

Lyrics:

“I am Loved”

Mack Brock

You are changing everything
You are changing everything
You are changing everything
I believe it
I receive it

You are changing everything
I believe it
I receive it
You are changing everything
Oh, You are
Oh

There is no disappointment in Your eyes
There is no shame there is only pride
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
There is no distance in Your embrace
Over and over again You say
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
I'm loved by You

I am loved, I am loved, I am loved
I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved, I am loved
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved, I am loved
I am loved, I am loved by You
I am loved, I am loved, I am loved
I'm loved by You
I am loved by You

Just as I am
You welcome me
With open arms
How can this be
My guilt is undone
My past is untethered
I leave it behind
And run to my Father

There is no disappointment in Your eyes
There is no shame there is only pride
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You

So unreserved
Your heart for me
My fear is gone
I am set free
There's nothing to hide
There's nothing to measure
'Cause I am Your child
And that's all that matters

There is no disappointment in Your eyes
There is no shame there is only pride
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
There is no distance in Your embrace
Over and over again You say
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You
I am loved
Father, I'm loved by You

You are changing everything
You are changing everything
I believe it
I receive it
