Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love
Under my mercy come and wait
'Til we are standing face to face
I see no stain on you my child
So beautiful to me
I sing over you my song of peace
Cast all your cares down at my feet
Come and find your rest in me
I'll breathe my life inside of you
I'll bear you up on eagle's wings
And hide you in the shadow of my strength
I'll take you to my quiet waters
I'll restore your soul
Come rest in me and be made whole
You're my beloved, you're my bride
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love
When listening to Kari Jobe's song "My Beloved," it becomes clear that the lyrics are from the perspective of God. The song is a reminder that God, as the heavenly bridegroom or father, cherishes us with unconditional love and grace. In the first verse, the song sets the tone by expressing God's desire to sing over us and delight in our presence. The invitation to come away is a clear message that we need to step outside of the busyness of our lives and enter into a relationship with God in a deeper way.
The second verse speaks of mercy and how we are to wait until we are standing face to face with God. This is a reflection of the biblical passage in which God tells us that He is merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in love. The song then highlights how God sees each one of us without any sin or blemish. God rejoices in each one of us, and we are beautiful in His sight.
The rest of the song talks about how God wants to breathe life into us and wants to be our safe haven. In other words, God wants to be the one person whom we can rest our heads upon and know that we are safe. He wants to give us everything that we need and take us to his quiet waters, where we can be rejuvenated and made strong. Overall, Kari Jobe's song "My Beloved" reminds us that we are the apple of God's eye, and He is eager to do everything possible to make sure that we are happy and secure.

I love everything about this song. It shows Christ's great love for us.
I found the song shortly before my sister died of cancer. I could tell it meant a lot to her. Her daughter and I sing it at her funeral. Thank you Kari for writing such a meaningful song.

I played this song at my grandmother's funeral last year. It sounded to me like a song that God sings to us as he watches us leave this place and enter His. "...Come away with me, my love. Under my mercy come and wait, until we are standing face to face. I see no stain on you, my child." These words brought me comfort in those last days when her health declined so quickly and in the days after she passed.

I just wanna say I went thru the exact same thing when my Grandma passed away. And those same words in this song gave me comfort in knowing that she was now at rest with the Lord.

I always forget the name of this song but it always breaks me into tears!! I've been out of church and down a lot so I'm trying to come back to the Christian I used to be.. It's not easy and ineed HIS help! Iloveyou God!!;*
@sandrastacey4428
Maybe God is leading you to know Him in new ways and not wanting you to come back to the old ways. Listen to Joseph Prince; and Bertie Brits here on YT and see a different view of the Gospel! Be free and know you are loved. He created you to be you--unique! Do not perform just let JESUS live and move you! I love this song too! We are accepted, cleansed, forgiven, beloved Children of God! Check out Jason Gray's I Am New!

It's been a while since you posted your comment so I hope you will see this reply. I have a "must read" for you. It's JESUS CALLING, by Sarah Young. It has renewed my relationship with Christ in so many wonderful ways. It is written as though he is speaking directly to you and backed up by scripture verses. It is a turbo-charge for you spirit! Amazing! God bless, and wish you well.
