He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
And 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
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
And 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
Oh how He loves us, oh
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us all
Yeah, He loves us
Oh how He loves
Oh how He loves
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
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
Behind the Song:
'The band was flying to Denver Colorado. When they gathered in the terminal following the flight, David announced that he had just listened to a song that, ““simply must be on the new album!”” And he did seem genuinely moved. The lyrics are beautiful and poetic. Trivia: the sounds of the crowd are actually the congregation of the band’s home church, UBC, congregating in the foyer one Sunday morning.' - David Crowder
