How He Loves Us – Kim Walker / Jesus Culture
Sometimes songs are simple, catchy and fun to sing. Sometimes they are deeply meaningful. Not to say that they can’t be both. Sometimes songs are incredibly poetic. We are amazed when the lyrics are so vivid that pictures explode in our minds. The song we are featuring today is one of those. How He Love Us by Kim Walker / Jesus Culture paints the closest picture of the vastness of God’s love for us in some of the best visual words we’ve ever heard- from a single tree in a hurricane to a drowning person in an ocean of grace.
It may not strike you the first time you hear it because the melody of the verses is a little complicated. In contrast, the chorus is very simple and easy to sing. When you listen to the song from the embedded YouTube we’ve posted below, it would serve you well you read along with the lyrics. If you miss the words, you’ll likely miss the touch.
How He Loves Us :
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
I realize 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 so.
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.
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…
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
