How He Loves
John Mark McMillan Lyrics

He is jealous for me
God feels a strong desire to protect and care for me as if I am His most valuable possession.

Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
God's love is a powerful force that is capable of shaking me to my core and reshaping me into something new.

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
God's mercy is overwhelming and has the power to humble me and bring me to a place of complete surrender.

When all of a sudden
Without warning or expectation.

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
My struggles and suffering pale in comparison to the beauty and wonder of God's love and grace.

And I realize just how beautiful You are
I gain a deep understanding of God's beauty and perfection.

And how great your affections are for me
I come to understand the depth and intensity of God's love for me.

Oh, how He loves us so
God's love for me is beyond measure and beyond comprehension.

Yeah, He loves us
God's love for all of humanity is unconditional and unchanging.

Whoa, how He loves us
I am in awe of the vastness and strength of God's love.

So we are His portion and He is our prize
God sees me as His precious possession, and in return, He is the ultimate reward for me.

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
God's grace is the irresistible force that draws me to Him and redeems me from my sins.

If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
God's grace is limitless and overflows, and we are completely engulfed by it.

So heaven meets Earth like a sloppy wet kiss
God's love and grace bridge the physical and spiritual realms in a beautiful and intimate way.

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
My heart is overwhelmed with emotion and awe at the magnitude of God's love.

I don't have time to maintain these regrets
The depth of God's love supersedes any regret or shame that I may have, and I am compelled to let them go.

When I think about the way
When I reflect on God's love and grace.

Listen, people, they want to tell me You're cruel
Some people believe that God is unkind and unfair.

But if Stephen could sing
Stephen, who has passed on, would attest to God's love and kindness.

He'd say it's not true, 'cause
Stephen would argue that those who doubt God's love and grace are misguided.

'Cause He loves us
God's love for us is the ultimate truth and cannot be denied.
