Lyrics
(Featuring TobyMac)
Who said that you weren’t beautiful
And that you didn’t belong in your own skin
Who said that you were all alone
And you’re never gonna find love again
So many little words, so many little lies
That have followed you all of your life
Looking for the truth
Look into your eyes
And you’ll see its been there the whole time
Even when you were running
Even when you were hiding
Never been a moment
That you were not Perfectly Loved
When you barely believed it
When your eyes couldn’t see it
Every single moment
You’ve always been Perfectly Loved
Perfectly Loved
You’ve always been Perfectly
In the hands of the Infinite
As the wounds of the world became His
See the kindness Heaven has for you
And how He’s always been drawing you in
So many open doors
So many miracles
That have followed you all of your life
Looking for the truth
Look into your eyes
And you’ll see its been there the whole time
Even when you were running
Even when you were hiding
Never been a moment
That you were not Perfectly Loved
When you barely believed it
When your eyes couldn’t see it
Every single moment
You’ve always been Perfectly Loved
Perfectly Loved
You’ve always been Perfectly Loved
Perfectly Loved
You’re not a problem
You’re not a mistake
Don’t need fixing or solving
In the arms of His grace
You’re perfectly human
Made from the dust
You’ve got a heart
Broken and scarred
Yet Perfectly Loved
Even when you were running
Even when you were hiding
Never been a moment
That you were not Perfectly Loved
When you barely believed it
When your eyes couldn’t see it
Every single moment
You’ve always been Perfectly Loved
Perfectly Loved
You’ve always been Perfectly Loved
Perfectly Loved
You’ll always be Perfectly Loved

About This Song
"This song came about in a time when I was not thinking about doing music again, it was not on my radar. I was at Small Group with my friends, Andrew Ripp and Ethan Hulse, who ended up writing this song with me. We were talking about life, about the 14 year old me. We were talking about how that girl started to believe over time that the more I accomplished, the more I performed, the more success I had, the more worthy of love that I was. I don't even know if I was fully aware of it at the time, but I was operating from this place of singing FOR love, instead of FROM love. And this song is just about - the opposite of that.
'Perfectly Loved' is about how God’s love is so perfect that we don’t have to fight for it, we don’t have to earn it. It is so perfectly and freely given to us no matter how far we run or hide. And it's so cool to look in hindsight and see how God’s love followed me all the way through and finds me now. And I know there are a lot of people who have thought or believed that at some point in their lives that we still have to do more and more to earn God’s love. But we are made from it. We are made for it. There is nothing we can do to lose it. I hope this song speaks to people in that place. Maybe this is someone’s first chance to even hear about a love that good." - Rachael Lampa
