Beloved

Such a beautiful song... from Christ's perspective, talking to us, the church, His beloved.

I was certain this song was a song from Christ's perspective, but then I heard the acoustic version, and my opinion changed. The acoustic version adds the line at the very end "That you'd love someone like me, it's a mystery". That doesn't seem like a line that would come from Jesus, but more like what a humble and loving spouse would say. I could be wrong about that, but the acoustic version seems a bit more like a wedding song, whereas the original verison is certainly a spiritual song. That's my interpretation anyway.

I think it's got to be a song with Christ speaking to the Church or to an individual because of the line "it's you i died for" among a few other lines which make it seem like it cannot be a spouse talking to their spouse.

i believe this song is supposed to be from one spouse to another but if the love is in its truest form, it should mirror Gods love, so it can be seen both ways.

I am taking this as a song to a person you are in love with, with the lyric "It's you I died for" I was baptized into the same faith as my husband-I died for him and was reborn. In the accoustic version it sometimes sounds like he is saying "It's you I'd die for". Afraid of the past he might see, God sees our past there is no hiding. Well this is my thought on it anyway, the great things about songs is everyone will interpret them differentlym, it makes us all unique and individual. Have a great day!
