Chosen and Cherished

When I was broken,

You called me whole

When I was empty,

You filled my soul When I was hiding,

You came to find

The child You loved before the start of time

I had no crown,

I had no song

Still You said, my child,

you belong

You saw my tears,

You knew my name And wrapped my heart inside Your grace

I am the apple of Your eye

Held by the hands that made the sky

Loved by the Father,

pure and true I find my worth when I'm with You

I am Your child,

I am Your own Never forgotten,

never alone Here in Your arms,

I come alive I am the apple of Your eye You don't

see me through my shame You see redemption in my name You

don't remember where I've been You speak forgiveness over sin When voices

tell me I'm too far You remind me who You are A

gentle Father, strong and near Your perfect love casts out my fear

And I don't have to earn Your love

I don't have to prove enough

You knew me when I had no light Still You called me

Your delight I am the

apple of Your eye Held by the hands that made the sky

Loved by the

Father, pure

and true I

find my worth when I'm with You I am Your child,

I am Your own Never forgotten,

never alone Here in Your arms,

I come alive I am the apple of Your eye Before I

sang, You heard my voice Before I ran,

I was Your choice Before I knew how deep Your love could

be You gave Your heart to rescue me I am beloved,

I am restored I am accepted by You,

Lord Not by my strength,

not by my fight But by Your mercy,

by Your light I am the apple of Your eye Held by

the hands that made the sky Loved

by the Father, pure and true I find my worth when I'm

with You I am

Your child, I am Your own Never forgotten,

never alone Here in Your arms,

I come

alive I

am the apple of Your eye You call me precious You call

me Yours You call me closer Than

ever before I am Your child Your joy,

Your delight

Forever the

apple

of Your eye
