In The Beloved Accepted Am I

"In the Beloved Accepted Am I" is a gospel hymn penned by Civilla D. Martin in 1930. The hymn emphasizes the believer's secure position in Christ, highlighting themes of grace, redemption, and eternal security. The lyrics affirm that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are accepted by God, not based on their own merit but through His grace. 

The hymn's structure includes verses that reflect on the believer's transformation—from being lost in sin to being raised and seated with Christ in heavenly places. The refrain underscores the believer's new identity, stating, "In the Beloved, God's marvelous grace calls me to dwell in His wonderful place." This refrain encapsulates the central message of the hymn: the believer's acceptance in Christ is a result of God's grace, not human effort.

Musically, the hymn was composed by Wendell P. Loveless, complementing Martin's lyrics with a melody that enhances the message of assurance and peace. Over the years, "In the Beloved Accepted Am I" has been included in various hymnals and continues to be a source of comfort and encouragement for many.
