Besides My Lighthouse, I'm recommending that the Praise Team sing Beloved by Jordan Feliz with Amelia singing the verses solo, so that the words can be heard. Beloved would be an Anthem, while Lighthouse is an inclusive Hymn with the children doing actions. Check out the video and lyrics below.
There's another one that the Praise Team loved, called Change My Heart, O God, that we think everyone will want to sing. It's simple and prayerful. I'm reminded of the statement about being Affirming, that we want people to know that we're unlearning prejudice and descrimination to become an inclusive and safe place for everyone.
Head full of questions, how can you measure up?
To deserve affection, to ever be enough for this existence
When did it get so hard?
Your heart is beating, alive and breathing
And there's a reason why you are essential, not accidental
And you should realize
To deserve affection, to ever be enough for this existence
When did it get so hard?
Your heart is beating, alive and breathing
And there's a reason why you are essential, not accidental
And you should realize
You are beloved
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know you are beloved
You, you, you are beloved
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know you are beloved
You, you, you are beloved
Sometimes a heart can feel like a heavy weight
It pulls you under, and you just fall away
Is anybody gonna hear you call?
But there's a purpose under the surface, and you don't have to drown
Let me remind you that love will find you, let it lift you out
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words
It pulls you under, and you just fall away
Is anybody gonna hear you call?
But there's a purpose under the surface, and you don't have to drown
Let me remind you that love will find you, let it lift you out
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know you are beloved
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above, oh
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love
You are beloved
I wanted you to know (you to know)
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul, oh
Forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt, and listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know you are beloved
You, you, you are beloved
You, you, you are beloved, yeah
Don't be afraid, don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above (you are beloved)
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love
You are beloved
