My Dear

Bethel Music's song 'My Dear' is a heartfelt expression of spiritual devotion and love. The lyrics convey a deep, intimate relationship between the singer and the divine, often referred to as 'Lord.' The opening lines, 'I am Yours and You are mine,' set the tone for a mutual, loving bond that transcends earthly relationships. The imagery of being 'ravished by the sight' of the divine's eyes and the anticipation of 'my lovers coming for His bride' evoke a sense of spiritual longing and fulfillment, akin to a sacred romance.

The song emphasizes the exclusivity and depth of this divine relationship. The lines 'For there is none upon the earth that I desire before you, Lord' and 'For you’ve been faithful all my days' highlight the unwavering faith and loyalty the singer feels towards the divine. This relationship is portrayed as eternal and unchanging, with the divine's love described as enduring and unfading. The repetition of 'I need to say what my soul is singing' and 'I need to say what my heart is screaming' underscores the urgency and intensity of the singer's emotions, making it clear that this love is all-encompassing and deeply felt.

The chorus, 'I love You my Dear,' repeated multiple times, serves as a powerful declaration of this love. The song concludes with the acknowledgment that the divine is 'everything I ever wanted, everything I ever needed,' encapsulating the idea that true fulfillment and contentment are found in this spiritual connection. Bethel Music, known for their worship music, often explores themes of faith, devotion, and divine love, and 'My Dear' is a poignant example of their ability to convey these themes through evocative and passionate lyrics.
