I was first exposed to this song at Lit Conference sung by Seth Condrey (amazing singer). Thank you Cody & Katie for the opportunity to serve with you at Lit. May the seeds that were planted at Lit grow & multiply! I didn’t fully get the depth of the song until I took a moment to think through all the words.
“He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.”
Just picture this……. you are a tree. His love is blowing over you like a hurricane and you are bending beneath his love 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.”
..… your afflictions being eclipsed by His glory. His glory overshadowing your afflictions.
“And oh, how He loves us so, Oh how He loves us, How He loves us so! Yeah, 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.”
…..We are all sinking in an ocean of God’s amazing grace.
"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…He loves us, Oh how He loves us, Oh how He loves us, Oh how He loves.”
……I don’t have time to maintain the regrets in my life when I think about the way that He loves me!
Take a few minutes and listen to Kim Walker’s version of this song. It is extremely powerful. Please listen all the way to the end, I know it's long, but you'll be blessed. I pray that you have a love encounter with Christ.
