"Blessed, raise your hands
You saw me when nobody saw me
You loved me when nobody loved me
You saw me when nobody saw me
You loved me when nobody loved me
And you gave me a name
I am your child, the apple of your eye
Because you loved me
And you gave me a name
I am your child, the apple of your eye
Because you loved me
You loved me"
