How He Loves Us

As I was on my way home from school I was about to tears... I feel as though a lot of stress is on my shoulders. Even if it isn't real:

Be a good mother
Be fit
Lose weight
Get a teaching position, even though it seems impossible more and more as the year goes on..
Be a good wife
Be a good Christian to those around me
Be a good daughter and sister to my amazing family
The list can go on... but it feels like it's all coming down on me lately....

So I pick up Asher and I put him in the car. He is asleep... and as I pull into my garage the song "How He Loves Us" By David Crowder Band comes on the radio... and I love that song. It ALWAYS comes on when I'm getting out of the car. So I decided I was going to sit in my car and listen to this song and enjoy it (Asher is asleep and I can do this!). So I did... and I cried and cried as I sang these words.. not because I'm just so uncontrollably sad, but because even in the midst of times where I'm worn down... God proves his love for me over and over and over again! If you haven't heard the song.. get on it! Here are the words:


 How He Loves Us
By: David Crowder Band

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.
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.


Maybe you're feeling like me... Know that the Lord Love you more than you can even imagine!

Amen
