how he loves

i went to church this past sunday and we sang this song... anyway it's been stuck in my head for the past couple of days... so i googled (as I often do) part of the lyrics and found out the song was called "how he loves" and that it was written by this dude, John Mark McMillan... Upon further googling I found the video below with the backstory of the song and it's pretty amazing...

PLEASE CHECK IT!



here are the lyrics...

Verse 1:
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.
