Leaning ON My Beloved
Today, I am thrilled to introduce an episode that has been a beacon of light and love in my own spiritual walk: "My Beloved," featuring the soul-stirring song from Eliza King's latest album, "The Pressing In."
The Heart of "My Beloved"
In this episode, we dive deep into the essence of divine love, guided by the lyrics of "My Beloved," a masterpiece that invites us into an intimate dialogue with God. This song, fresh from the heart of worship, echoes the tender whispers of love and belonging that thread through scripture and our daily lives.
A Journey into Scripture and Song
Join me as we explore the rich tapestry of God's love, reflected in the allegorical beauty of Song of Songs and mirrored in the heartfelt lyrics of "My Beloved." This episode isn't just an exploration; it's an invitation to deepen our understanding of our sacred identity as beloved by God.
As we unfold the layers of this beautiful song alongside scripture, we discover how deeply we are cherished and how profoundly we belong. This episode is a call to open our hearts to the beauty and intimacy of being truly known and loved by God.

"My Beloved" by Eliza King - Lyrics
1st Verse:
The bread that I feast on
The well that I draw from
The ground that I stand on
And the name that I call
My strength in the moment
My peace in the evening
My reason for living when life
Just feels too heavy
1st Chorus:
So this is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
I shelter in his mercy
In the shadow of his wings
This is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
Bearing all my weakness
He makes up for all these things
All I have to do is lean
2nd Verse:
The bread that I feast on
The well that I draw from
The ground that I stand on
And the name that I call
My strength in the moment
My peace in the evening
My reason for living when life
Just feels too heavy
2nd Chorus:
So this is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
I shelter in his mercy
In the shadow of his wings
This is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
Bearing all my weakness
He makes up for all these things
Bridge:
And let my eyes not look
For anything but the gaze of my true love
And let my hands not reach
For anything that come in between us
And let my heart not search
For refuge and strength in counterfeit places
And let my feet not walk
Toward any rest that isn’t your presense
Final Chorus:
This is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
And now I’ve seen His beauty
I’m moving for all the others
Yes, this is where you’ll find me
Leaning on My Beloved
No one else can draw my heart away, my heart away
For I am my Beloved’s
My Beloved is mine
I am my Beloved’s
My Beloved is mine
I am my Beloved’s
My Beloved is mine
I am my Beloved’s
My Beloved is mine
Ending:
All I have to do is lean
All I have to do is lean
So this is where you’ll find me
Where you’ll find me
This is where you’ll find me
