My Beloved
Anne Burnham Cannon

Joy
You belong to me
When I had nothing left to offer
Just pieces of me just left at His altar
LOST – God found me
Showed me to focus on eternity
Abandoned – Lonely – Scared
He called out my name
Loved me through my pain
Relieved from any of my own shame
I know to God I am the world
Daddy's sweet princess—His little girl
Confirming HIS precious love for me
Teaching me WHO I AM – my spiritual identity
My Father knows my heart
I know now God's promises never fall apart;
God keeps me safe from any harm
My FATHER God holds me safe in His strong arms
You are my chosen
God is my strength and refuge in my time of need
Needed to trust you, have faith, & BELIEVE
You are Sovereign Lord during all my strife
Preparing me for a future; a good plan for my life
Getting to know Him during testing & tears
Faithful and true to me all these years
Humble, I had nothing left to offer
I will truly surrender and lay myself at His altar
You are my beloved
BROKEN—God saw me complete
Once again I lay my ashes at His feet
Patiently as I wait to see
Beauty that God will make of me
Look into my heart full of PEACE, HOPE & LOVE
Hoping everyone will see me as my Father does
My promise to God I belong
Surrender my life to be His song
Want to be preparing for your bride-to-be
My PRINCE of Wholeness to rescue me
