His Great Love

There are just some songs that really grab hold of me. I'll be obsessed with it for awhile then not have a song for awhile then find another obsession. My song obsession last time was "Me and Jesus" by Stellar Kart. Then for a good 1-2 months I had nothing. Now, I have another. And it's different than anything I have ever listened to and loved before.... it's by John Mark McMillan. If you want to hear the explanation of the last verse, or really, just an amazing background on the song, then go here and watch.

But most importantly, let the truth penetrate your heart.


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 realise 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
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 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
Yeah, He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves.

Well, I thought about You the day Stephen died
And You met me between my breaking
I know that I still love You, God, despite the agony
They want to tell me You're cruel
But if Stephen could sing, he'd say it's not true
Cause You're good.

Cause He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
Yeah, He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves.
