How He Loves Us

Yay, another great worship song! =D.

This is "How He Loves", written by John Mark McMillan, covered by David Crowder Band. but WAIT, before you play the song, I want to ask you to try something: try closing your eyes, or spacing out, so you could focus on the words in your head instead of reading them. Allow the words just sink in your mind & heart.



yeah..

The imagery in this song is so..wow. The very first line is the one that almost everybody will remember: "He is jealous of me. Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree; bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy." God's love is so strong, and so AL;KJFGA;JFAW! Really though. Though words cannot explain the greatness of God's love, this song puts it in a way for us to remind us that He really DOES love us! How often do we forget that? SO often, for me. "Oh, how He loves us so.. Oh how He loves us.. how He loves us so." I realize that I never deserved such a love. Its so overwhelming.

In our hearts, I pray that we can worship HIM with a full heart, knowing that He gaves His only Son to die for us, and continually blesses and loves us unconditionally!



Oh, and by the way, here is a link to the Official Music Video of the song for David Crowder Band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJyW55AXJAk . If you have time, I really encourage you to check it out. I gotta let you know, its a little strange...and it didn't really click for me the first time, especially during the chorus. But now, when I see the band members (comically :]) completely flipping out, I realize that it's a kind of reaction we would have if we understand just how much God REALLY loves us! How could we possibly keep it inside?

"YEAH HE LOVES US!! OHHH HOW HE LOVES US!! OOH HOW HE LOVES US!! OOHHH HOW HE LOVES!!!"

=]. God loves you!

Lately, I've been seeking love from others, but God. When people fail me and when I doubt my relationships with people, God seems to be the only closest thing to me. Even when I am aware that His love is surrounding me in both my low and high moments, I still can't let go of other people's imperfect love. I do take God's love for granted. It is His love that gets me through life. To know that "He is jealous for me" makes my face go "O:". I know what it's like to get jealous. It's not a good feeling at all. "A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones," (proverbs 14:30). Everyone wants some kind of attention from others. I don't need to seek other people's love because "He loves us!" I really need to keep that reminder in my head daily. It will be hard to not seek, but by acknowledging that God does loves me and He is jealous for me makes me one step closer to fully fully fully appreciating His everlasting love. =D

Thanks Tim for this song that serves as a good reminder of how wonderful our God is.
