Davy Flowers has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called I Was Loved.“ ‘I Was Loved’ is so special to me because it is my testimony put to lyrics and melody,” Flowers shares. “It is the simplest articulation of who Jesus has been for me in the years I have walked with him. One truth that cannot be denied, when I look back through the seasons of God's faithfulness in my life, is that his extravagant love has been persistent and sufficient in and through all things. That's the banner I want to wave for all my days!
During the first few months of the pandemic lockdown, I was fighting to cling to all the things that remain true about who God is in the face of trials and life's unknowns,” she adds of the song’s inspiration. “As I took stock of my own heart and history with Jesus, I found significant peace in the reminder that his love is overwhelming, and it holds real power to anchor my heart through whatever is coming.”
God's affection and his commitment to his children doesn't change with the seasons, it doesn't rise and fall with the circumstances of our lives, and Christ has been sufficient and will be sufficient to satisfy every fundamental longing of our souls for all of eternity,” Flowers adds of the pervading message of the forthcoming album. “If you can't look back on your life and make sense of anything at all, the consistent thread that holds it all together is that you have been loved.'
Lyrics:
You've been hanging on to me for all my days
I've seen your heart
I've seen your ways
Right up close and there's no question
That You've been showing up for me at every turn
Never give up
Never relent
With the kind of heart that doesn't waver
And at the end of my life
When they ask why I was different
I will testify all my might
That I was loved
And Jesus, He has always been enough
And I put my trust in an old rugged cross
That tells me I am loved
You've been holding on to me in every way
With every breath
I'm breathing in
Brand new mercy every morning
You keep no record of my wrong
You know my frame
You formed this heart in the secret place
All this time you've been my portion
And at the end of my life
When they ask why I was different
I will testify all my might
That I was loved, yes, I was
And Jesus, He has always been enough
And I put my trust in an old rugged cross
That tells me I am loved
That tells me I am loved
When all of this is over
Let it said I had a better portion
Than all the world affords
When all my days are counted
Let it be known that it was only Jesus
Who made it all worth it
He made it all worth it
When all of this is over
Let it known I had a better portion
Than all the world affords
When all my days are counted
Let it be known that it was only Jesus
Who made it all worth it
And at the end of my life
When they ask why I was different
I will testify all my might
That I was loved
And Jesus He has always been enough
And I put my trust in an old rugged cross
I put my trust in an old rugged cross
I put my trust in an old rugged cross
That tells me I am loved
You tell me I am loved
