These are the songs of a distinctly relational and prolific songwriter. “My father is a pastor, so my whole family has been shaped by the church,” says Kerrie. “From a young age, my parents always taught me to reach out to the broken and to those who need hope.” With her first performance at the age of 5, Kerrie grew up singing in church, playing piano and leading worship. She wrote her first songs in high school. The 10 songs on Kerrie Roberts reflect the redemptive seeds planted during those years and into her young adulthood.
Thematically, the album explores a thoughtful side of faith, hope and love—the acknowledgment that an authentic life of faith isn’t void of suffering, the purpose amidst pain, the promise that a breakthrough is coming, and the motivating power of God’s love. Says Kerrie, “I want every song to leave people with a sense of purpose—a call to action, a realization of a truth, a promotion of hope and healing.”

Lovable
Kerrie Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worthless child," that's what he says.
"A waste of time, you're never gonna make me proud.
And don't you cry or I'll give you something to cry about."
Don't take those words to heart,
Know that you are...
Beautiful
Wonderfully made
A child of God
No matter what
The hurt inside of them might say.
So hold on to the truth,
You are lovable
You are lovable
Careless words, scars no one can see.
How they hurt, and cut you so deep.
But there are words with the power to bring life.
Hear them now, you're treasure in Heaven's eyes.
So take these words to heart,
Know that you are...
Lovable
Beautiful
Wonderfully made
A child of God
No matter what
The hurt inside of them might say.
So hold on to the truth,
You are lovable
Words can break,
Words can build,
Be filled with grace,
Or make tears spill
No we can't forget we are so delicate
Fathers to mothers and brothers and daughters
What do you choose?
Is it salt or fresh water?
So let the words of my mouth
Never leave any doubt that you are...
Lovable,
A child of God
No matter what
The hurt inside of them might say.
Lovable
Beautiful
Wonderfully made
A child of God
No matter what
The hurt inside of them might say.
So hold on to the truth,
You are lovable
You are lovable
