Amazing lyrics and amazing truth... though I know it, it is good to be reminded how much He loves me...how much He loves Andrew...and how much He already loves Alekzander.
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.
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,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.
Tonight during church, we took communion. When it was my turn to go up, I went to my sweet friend, Rebecca, who was serving communion. She reminded me that, "Ashley, this is the body of Christ, broken just for you..." and then she added, "...and Alekzander." Even before he is born, God knows Alekzander (Psalm 139: 13-16 The Message) - and already all of Alekzander's sins are forgiven. This fact, verbalized by Rebecca, brought me to tears and gave me further 'proof' of how much God loves us.
