"How He Loves" - David Crowder Band

I've always liked the chorus of this song, but have never really heard or paid attention to the verses. This morning I was in the kitchen trying to figure out what to put in the slow cooker for supper, and in the background I heard "...Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy." That captivated me and I had to hear the rest of the song. It's one of my new favorites. I think sometimes the statement "God loves me" becomes cliche. I forget to dive into what that really means and how He loves me...and how that love carries me...and how that love can eclipse the things of this world. Thanks for getting my attention this morning, Lord.

"How He Loves"

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.

And oh, how He loves us oh,

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all.

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.

And oh, how He loves us oh,

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all.

He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

And 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...

That 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.

Yeah He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.
