[chorus]
The disciple who was loved by our Lord,
In the Gospel of John alone records.
At the last supper the scriptures do say,
On Christ's bosom, the disciple did lay.

[verse1]
The disciple was at the cross, so it's said,
He stands with Mary, as Jesus Christ did bled.
Amid the torment and the anguished plea,
Jesus looks down, his loved disciple did see.

"Behold your son," he tells His weeping mother,
"Behold your mother," spoken to the loved other.
And so, the disciple took Mary in,
And treated her as if his own kin.

[verse2]
On Sunday morn, as shadows start to fade,
He runs with Peter, to the tomb did made,
Magdalene's words had reached their ears,
The tomb is empty, fueling all their fears.

The beloved disciple outran Peter,
But was afraid to be the first to enter,
Yet seeing, he believes, his doubts subside,
The resurrected truth he cannot hide.

[verse3]
At Galilee, after a fishing all night,
The loved man first sees in morning light.
He recognizes Jesus on the shore,
The Risen Christ, whom they had known before.

"It is the Lord!" he cries to Peter's ear,
His loving heart dispels all doubt and fear.
Peter then put on his outer clothes,
And dove in, to swim toward the Lord.

[verse4]
Peter asked about the loved man's future,
Jesus answered, "What is that to you, Peter?"
"If I want him to live before my return?"
"Just follow me, he's not your concern."

The one whom Jesus loved, a humble name,
Not seeking glory but spreading Jesus' name.
Of whom many do believe is John,
Which the title of this disciple it does belong.
