how He loves

Last night, the students on campus got together to forget all about the craziness of finals, the anxiety of school bills due, and the insanity of Christmas. For this one hour we focused on nothing other than just praising God for all He has done for us. We ended the night with this song. It speaks so poetically of God's love for us. Sometimes we forget about His love. It's deep, too deep to fathom. I'm so grateful that He loves someone so undeserving as me.

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.

Oh, how He loves us so.

Oh how He loves us, 

How He loves us all.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us.

We are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.

And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen 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
