How He Loves Us

Today I woke up and was super excited about what the rest of the day had for me. Little did I know that it was going to be one of the worst days of work ever, and that I would have no fun plans for after I got off of work. But all throughout the day, and for the past three days really, I had a song stuck in my head. A song that made my day tolerable. A song that kept my spirits high regardless of what was going on around me. The song was "How He Loves", and the lyrics are below:

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the wind of his weight 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.

And 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,

Oh! How He loves us,

Oh! How He loves.

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 unforseen 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...

How He loves us so,

Oh, how He loves us,

How He loves us all.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh! How He loves us,

Oh! How He loves us,

Oh! How He loves.

This song is just such an amazing reminder to me that God doesn't just love us when we go to church, or read our Bible, or do something nice for somebody else. We are experiencing God's love every minute of the day, whether we realize it or not. Every breath that we take is a living testament to God's amazing love for us. Take a deep breath, and take comfort in the fact that God loves you.

Eternally His,

Andrew
