Oh, How He Loves

The song, How He Loves, has been so special to me in recent months. On one occasion when it was played, it literally brought tears to my face as I thought about how much He does love me.

Misc 1
(PRE-CHORUS)
Oh how He loves us so
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us so
(REPEAT)

Chorus 1
(Yeah) He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
(REPEAT)

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
I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

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 (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 that

Now everytime I hear this song, it brings back meaningful memories.

 

I am reminded every day of a million ways in which He loves me. I wanted to share just a few with you:

 

A breathtaking sunrise on my way to school

 

A heart in a mugful of hot chocolate

 

Blessing me with a loving friend who got me flowers, just because

 

I can almost hear Him whisper, "Yes, Janelle, oh, how I love you."

And oh, how He loves you too!
