Oh How He Loves

I have heard this song before but never really let the words set it.  I love it.  Here is a video of John Mark McMillan performing it.  I never knew the backstory to the song, its pretty cool.  I listed the lyrics below.

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

Pre-Chorus:

And oh, how He loves us so,

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all

Chorus:

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

Verse 2:

We are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,

If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.

So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,

And the heart turns violently inside of my chest,

I don’t have time to maintain these regrets, 

When I think about, the way…

Chorus 1:

He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.
