Already Loved

[Verse 1]
They say you’ve gotta love yourself first
Build your worth from the inside out
But I’ve tried that road, and it only hurts
Leaves me chasing shadows, filled with doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
But what if love was never earned?
What if grace was always mine?
Not a prize I had to learn
But a truth beyond the mind
[Chorus]
I don’t need to love myself to be whole
I just need to know I’m already loved
By the hands that shaped my soul
By the light that lifts me up
I surrender all the striving
Let the ego fall away
I’m a child of the Divine
And I’m loved, I’m loved today
[Verse 2]
I’ve whispered mantras in the mirror
Tried to heal with every line
But the voice that said “you’re broken”
Was never truly mine
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lay down all the judgment
And the need to prove my name
I am fearfully made
And I’m not the one to blame
[Chorus]
I don’t need to love myself to be whole
I just need to know I’m already loved
By the hands that shaped my soul
By the light that lifts me up
I surrender all the striving
Let the ego fall away
I’m a child of the Divine
And I’m loved, I’m loved today
[Bridge]
Look at the birds in the sky
They don’t worry, they don’t cry
Yet the Father feeds them still
Am I not more in His will?
Grace is not a thing I earn
It’s the fire in which I burn
I am held, I am seen
I am part of everything
[Final Chorus]
I don’t need to love myself to be whole
I just need to know I’m already loved
By the hands that shaped my soul
By the light that lifts me up
I surrender all the striving
Let the ego fall away
I’m a child of the Divine
And I’m loved, I’m loved today
[Outro]
I’m loved, I’m loved today
I’m loved, I’m loved always
