Beloved

[Verse 1]
All is quiet
And I can't sleep
The tree's aglow
In front of me

[Refrain 1]
Red lights depict the blood that once was shed to end all bloodshed
No offerings, no shame, no guilt, no scapegoats killed for our sin
I once thought God appeased by blood, forgave and made us sacred
But now I know it's always love, it's never been punishment
It's never been, but we could not accept it
It's never been

[Verse 2]
All is plain
In communion with the saints
Those martyred ghosts
Like the one they followed

[Refrain 2]
But death could never hold Him down
'cause death is human nature
We're so short-sighted, we see everything as punitive here
So we project our laws and say there must be substitution
Now I can see the passion was an act of killing the myth
Forgiving the injustice, we're just His kids
Proving that she loves us, so we can live
No more blood to be shed
No more blame to be spread

[Chorus]
Believe it, believe you're beloved
Believe it, believe you're beloved
Believe it, believe you're beloved
And live

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Believe you're beloved, and live
Believe you're beloved, and live, oh-oh-oooh
Believe you're beloved, and live
Believe you're beloved, and live
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, live
