How He Loves us

As Valentine's Day approaches my friend reminded me of something that not only rings true in my life but also in Kevin's. As much as Kevin and I love each other, our love can not and will never compare to the love of our God, Adoni. Below are the lyrics and video to one of our favorite songs. It is by John Mark McMillan and it perfectly describes what Kevin and I feel daily through the ups an downs of life here on earth. There are always tears shed at some point throughout the song because we are so thankful for God's love for us and we desire with every part of our being for others to know His perfect love and grace! 

 

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 how beautiful you are
And how great your afflictions for me

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 meats earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

I thought about you
The day Stephen died
And you met me between my breaking
I know that I still love you God
Despite the agony
See people they want to tell me your cruel
But if Stephen could sing
He'd say its not true
Cause your good
