'To Be Wanted' by Amanda Nolan: Beholding Our Worth in God’s Compassionate Lens


Amanda Nolan's song 'To Be Wanted' is a masterpiece. This song brilliantly expresses the raw, human yearning for unconditional love and acceptance, a theme that resonates with our inherent flaws and long-held rejection fears. However, embedded within its moving lyrics is the promise of divine love and unwavering support, echoing Romans 8:38-39 - 'neither death nor life...nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.'

Amanda Nolan - To Be WantedA vivid story unfolds throughout the song, revealing a transformative encounter with Jesus, who lovingly assures us, 'You are loved without conditions,' and 'You will never be let go.' It wonderfully shows God's steadfast presence in the face of human infidelity, affirming our worth where we've felt unwanted and extending a grace-filled embrace where we've felt ignored.

Amanda Nolan's warm, heartfelt voice only adds to this story, wrapping it in melodies that beckon listeners to solace and spiritual encouragement. 'To Be Wanted' awakens us to the truth of our divine lovability, reminding us that even when we feel we have nothing to offer, we are deeply cherished just for being who we are.

May the beauty of God's ever-present love be sparked in you by this song. May it be a source of comfort and strength for you, an encouraging note in your life's symphony that gently leads you to Heavenly Father's embrace.
