How He Loves

This past summer at church camp we did this song called How He Loves. It was an awesome song. You know how it is when you are in worship and there is one particular song that just really stirs you? That is what this song was like for me. Every time we would sing this song, there was something that would just resonate deep in my being.

I have looked for this song ever since then but I'd had no real luck in finding it. Until last week, a young lady that I know had a line of it as her status on Facebook so she was able to hook me up with the name of the artist as well as the name of the song and from there I was able to find it. Now I would like to share the words with you.

How He Loves
John Mark McMillan

He is jealous for me, Love's a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and Mercy.
When all of the sudden I'm unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
and I realize just how beautiful You are, and great Your affections are for me.

Oh how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us so.

Yea He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

So 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 my heart turns violently inside of my chest.
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way...

He Loves us,
Oh how He Loves us,
Oh how He Loves us,
Oh, how He Loves.
He Loves us,
Oh how He Loves us,
Oh how He Loves us,
He Loves us.

I also wanted to post the video of the song as well. I will admit that it is a little bit long, but the first part of it is John Mark McMillan explaining why he wrote the song and what it is all about for him. I hope that if you watch it and listen to the song that it will move you like it has moved so many others. Peace and Love y'all.
