How He Loves Us
Kim Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He is jealous of 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, oh

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, oh

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 (ha ha)
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, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves, yeah, yeah
Yeah, He loves us
He loves us
He loves us (ha)

Yeah

His presence, His love
Is so thick and tangible in this room tonight
And there are some of you here
That have not encountered the love of God
And tonight God wants to encounter you
And wants you to feel His love
His amazing love
Without it these are just songs
These are just words
These are just instruments
Without the love of God
It's just like we're just up here just making noise
But the love of God changes us
And we're never the same
We're never the same
After we encounter the love of God
We're never the same after we encounter the love of God
And right now if you haven't encountered the love of God
And you would know
Because you wouldn't be the same
You would never be the same again
And if you, if you, want to encounter the love of God right now
You better just brace yourself
Because He's about to just blow in this place
And we're gonna encounter the love of God right now
So God I speak to all the hearts
And I ask God that every heart be open right now
Every heart be open
Every spirit be opened up
To you God
To You
And a love encounter
A love encounter from you tonight
A love encounter from you tonight God

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
Let it go deep go deep go deep

He loves us
Oh, how he loves us
Oh, how he loves us
Oh, how he loves
His love is going deep
His love is going deep tonight
His love is going deep tonight
See the Father
Behold the Father
Behold the Father (ha)

Just impossible to explain to a non-Christian how important this song is to me. This was playing, this very video, when I was saved and redeemed by Jesus. And just like Kim Walker says in the video, I was never the same. I'm crying now for all the beauty and truth that has permeated my life in the last ten years.

A joy of the Lord came over me reading your comment, brother. It reminds me of my very first time when I got saved. My favourite was " I exalt thee" by Kim ...They used to play it a lot in church
