How He Loves Us!

I love how she says near the end that "we're never the same after we encounter the Love of God"...

My cousin's wonderful husband is dying of cancer right now. It breaks our hearts in ways that we can't even express. The thought of my sweet cousin being without her love and their girls growing up without their father who loves them so so much just kills me. Then I hear this song and I think, "holy moly! Toby soon will encounter the Love of God in a way that none of us have yet or will during our time on earth. And I'm jealous. He'll be dancing with the angels and I'll be here, doing the dishes. It really makes me want more of God.

"He is jealous for me
Love's 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.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.
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 That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves"
