I could not get this song out of my head. All day long it played over and over again--on my computer, on my ipod, in my head. Rather fitting, as today marks the first day of Lent. Over the next 40 days, Christians around the world, across denominations, will be embarking on a season of prayer, fasting, and self-denial, culminating in a weekend-long observance commemorating and celebrating the single greatest Act of Love the world has ever known.
Oh, 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 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.
