Desperately. Completely. Passionately. Ultimately. Incomprehensibly. Fully.
Oh, how He loves us.
Destructively. Our regrets, fears, failures, weaknesses, excuses, justifications, failed dreams and deepest scars are destroyed in the presence of a love so deep and furious that He’d trade His perfect Son…for us. For me. For you.
In light of that exchange, how can our insecurities stand? He has said we are worthy, beautiful, called and loved beyond measure. Who am I to argue?
Live today as one consumed by the unending love of the almighty God.
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 realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us allYeah, 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.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen 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…

I first heard this song at a spin class! The instructor had a David Crowder Band day…I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of them until then! LOVE it. Listen to this almost every day–my 2 year old loves the entire CD. LOUDER, Mommy, LOUDER!
Your blog is inspiring & awesome.
Thank you for sharing. I love this song and the slideshow.
Your blog is so inspiring.
this is an awesome song. I love that He loves me just as I am.
I think I too often forget the love that God has for me. Thanks for the incredible reminder of His jealous love for me!

Kat, This is the first time I have been here and I am in awe. You have no idea how much I needed this post today!!! Thank you.
Thanks for posting this song. I really love it. We sing it at church… only not nearly as well!
I’m not familiar with this song, and I didn’t even watch the video, but your post brought tears to my eyes anyway. I’ve been realizing this truth over the last few months, first by fully feeling that there are some parts of me that are just no use to God, and then in the past week or so realizing that He knows that, and still wants me to give them to Him anyway. I’ve found real peace and comfort in praying, “Lord, I have this hurt, this longing, this need… Here it is, Lord. I’m giving it to You; do with it what You will.”
I don’t know how to do a proper trackback (I don’t think), but I credited you on a post I just made on my new blog.
